Event comments:

Course was fine.. nice and flat and it started on time. Felt sorta disorganized, everyone kept asking one another where the starting line was. No indication of where it was to begin. There seemed to be 2 main men with a megaphone directing everything. There were no drink stations along the course at all. After the race only had water, juice and orange slices. Some sort of carb or banana would be nice. After the race everyone milled around without really knowing what was going on. Mini-award ceremony (which wasn't too bad b/c I got a medal!!) but not a lot of hoopla!

YEAH!!!!!  What a great addition to an accomplished athletic career!  Too bad about the organization.  What do you mean 'no carbs' available .... in your blog, wasn't someone supplying you with cookies?  Oh well.  We need to teach you to pack the 'Bag of Fool-ish Things to Leave Home Without.'  I was quite the hit at MiamiMan.  Men wanted me .... for my sunscreen!  Innocent
