  • Comments: I'm very proud of how I did in this race. My time was, by far, nowhere near what it would have been had I been healthy for it, but I still averaged sub-9's for the race, so Im happy. My knee is very unhappy right now, but I'm working on that next. As far as the windy conditions go, OMG! Someone told me that during a hurricane they close the bridges to traffic at 45 mph. Well, the winds today were reported at 25-35, with gusts to 40 mph!

  • Comments: This is a well run race. The only down side of this race was the Fun Run that was later on was a total cluster F. They changed the course and nobody seemed to have a clue about what was going on. I think the kids had fun anyway but it still sucked.

  • Comments: Despite the crowds, this is one of the greatest races. The organization is almost flawless, and the city really comes out for support. I've never seen any post-race complaints about the imposition on traffic like in other cities. Can't wait until next year!
