    Thanks for the RR -- and the pics. I love the idea of taking a ferry to a race. Nice day, no cars and a beach at the finish line; sounds great!
      Nice race Bob- congrats on the strong finish in the heat.

        Jeff, I guess being from Seattle, you are no stranger to ferries! Thanks for the note, I'm glad you liked the report!

          Alan, I was thinking of you out there as I was melting in the heat! I don't know how you put up with it! Thanks for reading! Smile
            Great run, great report. Pictures really give a feel for the course--looks fantastic. So--gonna do it again? And if so--would you do anything different?

              Thank you Don! Pictures are worth 1000 words. If someone told me I'd be doing a race in a community where there are only sidewalks, the picture in my head would've been totally different of what the area really was like. I would do it again in a heartbeat. It's for a great cause and in a pretty unique venue. You really felt like you were part of something special here. The race was only conceived 2 months ago, and it sold out almost immediately. Not sure I'd do anything differently next time, perhaps try to stay out of the sun more beforehand.


              Anyone have pizza?
