cheered in a few -looked for those I knew- water-eventually bowl of awesome chowda

speed work-lack of!

Event comments:

I like this race because it's local and is a challenging course. Minimal traffic at beginning & end- varied scenery- finish is a LONG straightaway that would seem endless but for the view -over river-today was absolutely beautiful shining blue....andhechowda is the BEST!
Do wish they gave turkeys to all 3 placers instead of just #1 tho!

I think you deserve a Turkey or some hardware for third.

Funny you almost missed the start...do you live close?
