    Well run event was marred by horrible shuttle service

    Race - fast, safe, beautiful course.

    shuttle back to car - pitiful - two shuttles for 7000 runners. No way that should have happened.

    Monster Dash Half-Marathon

    The course was fast. A short hill around mile 6/7 but the rest was Minnesota flat. I was a bit hesitant to get out and run hard after a full last weekend. So started nice and easy. Just after the hill, I popped my caffeine gel and took off. I dropped about 30 sec/mile and flew thru the rest of the course. My last 5k was less than a minute off my best 5k. I guess I should have been more aggressive on the front half of the race.

    The point to point was nice but the logistics were terrible. The wait for the shuttle bus back to the starting point for our cars was terrible. With 5500+ runners (half and 10 milers) 4 buses was not cutting it. I had to wait 90 minutes in a chilly wind. Standing around in the cold after a good race was not my idea of post-race entertainment.

    Disappointing.... Just wasn't feeling it. But two completions under my belt. :)
