This is probably the worst planned, roughest terrain course I've ever done. The base is lucky they didn't have anyone seriously injured by their inability to take care of the runners. I'm so glad I hit my pr goal in fargo otherwise I'd be devastated. Running at this pace was nice in away. I got to chat with runers and feel the comaraderie, which made me fall in love with running to begin with. If I do this next year I'm going to try the 10K which had a much more stable terrain and if they fail to provide adequate water stations it won't matter. On a super plus side, I have broken through the 2,000 miles mark since Jan 2011!
