I know I saw some maps (maybe in the registration books/pamplets) that advertised GU stations.  I remember them being around the 6-7 mile mark area...   Good time for your race.

Hmmm pie as a pre race snack....maybe NOT next time.<img align='middle' src='https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/wink.gif'>

So was this the first Half Mary?
