I took this race as slow and comfortable as possible because I knew it was the first of a series of 3 and especially knowing I was running the next day. When I crossed the finish I couldn't believe it was over. I did not feel this one at all which was good considering I was running the next day. I was so glad to have so many maniac friends on course that I have met only online. It was amazing sharing miles with them. So much support in this club. I even had a place to stay at a local runners guest room which made the expense of the trip much better. I am so thankful for everyone's support. I highly recommend this race.
