Comments:

Did not run well, plus the added confusion in the course. I slowed down to talk with Police Detail and tried to insist we were supposed to be going straight when he wanted me to take a left turn and loop. Then I was not sure of what was happening with the race - distance, etc...
What would you do differently?:

Make sure people directing on course knew what they were doing?
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, had water and fruit.

Event comments:

I liked the race last year. Got to give a mediocre grade because of the mess-up on route.

Overall: 47/128
Performance: Below average
Course: Was supposed to be an out, including a loop around a few buildings, and then back. Police Detail incorrectly sent everyone down a wrong road. Therefore, some runners did not do the 3/4 mile loop around buildings and steep hill climb. These later runners hit this point simultaneous to lead runners (who already completed the 3/4 mile loop). Some bad communication for the Road Crew to make this mistake on the course.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
