Got up at 5:20 and ate some oatmeal, banana and drank two cups coffee. Meant to fall back asleep for a bit, but time got away from me. Left the hotel at about 7. We were only about two minutes from the race event and they had parking organized really well. Stood around shivering for a bit and took pictures, went potty a couple more times and took my first GU. My friend mrsostrowski and I positioned ourselves toward the back. The marathoners and half-ers started at the same time so there was a big start.

Um...nada. The slow jog to the start line.

I drank way too much. We stopped at four different port o potties!

The race went well. I would have dressed a bit warmer cuz after I started sweating I got pretty cold.

Stretched a lot and had a soda and two mini milky ways

Just me. I'm slow and didn't want to push too much my first race. I figure this is just a starting point to set a goal time and get a feel for things.

Very well run and the first year it was put on. There were tons of volunteers dressed up in costumes and tons of water, gatorade, and gels at the stations. Oh and lots of port o potties!
