I have a hard time running when it is that warm and humid, so way to tough it out.<br /><br />Hope you are recovering well!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185580660442865724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965046189195621389.post-6800917756510112002010-09-05T12:27:51.747-05:002010-09-05T12:27:51.747-05:00Oops!

Finish time means nothing to me - I went out there to have fun and I did.<br /><br />There was a cap of 200 runners per event, and it fills early every year.<br /><br />There was a new RD this year, so I'm not sure if the nasty things you heard were about years past or this year. There were definitely some rough spots, but he's already announced changes for next year to improve the race. He has also sent out a detailed survey and is taking suggestions to heart. And if you want to design a new finishers medal for next year, you might score $200.Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350787540136262813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965046189195621389.post-67362711412630308232010-09-04T10:11:50.020-05:002010-09-04T10:11:50.020-05:00Finish time?

I went to the website, but the results aren't up yet.<br /><br />600 runners sounds like a lot, but I guess Ice Age is that big, and I expect the majority of runners were in the 1/2-marathon, so things would spread out more in the 50.<br /><br />I go back-and-forth as to whether that race should be in the Fab 5 series; I've heard some nasty things about the organizers, but you have me wanting to take another look.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965046189195621389.post-6747582577331956482010-09-03T21:27:35.729-05:002010-09-03T21:27:35.729-05:00Congrats... sounds like you made the right choice...Congrats... sounds like you made the right choice and used you charm to allow the switch.
