Event comments:

The race was horribly planned and implemented, but it was for charity and our team came in first, third, and me in fourth. Therefore, we got a $1000 donation to the charity of our choice!!

Age Group: 0/
Overall: 0/45
Performance: Below average
Course: Poorly set-up, there were no directions, only people sparsely distributed along the course pointing which way to go. My time is an estimate because the top 5 runners at one point were pointed in the wrong direction and ended up doing a half mile extra loop. This cost me one place (I technically finished 5th by about 20 seconds, but obviously, would have been 4th if not for the extra half mile). There were no mile markers, so nobody knew how far we had gone and how far we had to go. There was no water stations set up anywhere on the course, and we were not told whether there would be one or not (next time I will assume no instead of assuming yes).
Keeping cool Bad Drinking Not enough
