Comments: Just so you understand this race. It is supposed to be a 4.8 mile race. Along the way you have to stop at 3 bars, chug a beer and eat a hot dog. That's right, 4.8 miles, 3 beers, 3 hotdogs. The course was very well staffed with volunteers until Union Square. Going into the 2nd bar Hockey Mike and I saw the guy in 4th place coming out of the bar, so we knew that we were in 5th and 6th. We ate the 2nd hot dog and drank the 2nd beer. Another 2 guys ran out of the bar a step ahead of us (dropping us to 7 and 8). When our pack got to McGraph Hwy there was no volunteer telling us to turn (she was chatting with the other volunteeer and not manning her post), so we went straight. This lead us the wrong way (the two in fornt of Mike and I and about 10 other guys who followed us) causing us to run an extra mile. Mike and I passed the other two guys and lead our pack to the finish line. All in all we ran an extra mile and that caused us to drop from a possible 5th and 6th to 31st and 32nd. ![]() Post race
Event comments: I am still happy with finishing 32nd, it is just tough when I realize that I should have been 5th or 6th. This was my fathers first race ever, he finished 150. Last updated: 2004-07-30 12:00 AM
