Ooops didnt see that you started a thread on this already. I will be sure to see you there!! At least pre-race, and maybe in the finish...if you're still around then..I hope I finish early enough to get a free massage. Last year, when I got in there, the massage table was packing up.

ed and denis good luck on sunday.

Thanks Doug, from what I hear it's a very tough course so a little luck can't hurt. I'm supposed to tack on another four miles to boot, I have 20 on the schedule on Sunday. We'll see how I do with sixteen hilly miles in bitter cold, then I'll make the call on the bonus miles.

I hope you did well ED. What did you get for completing it?

I did OK, finished at 2:07:38 for an overall pace of 7:59. That is one hilly course, so I'm actually pretty happy with the time. It was snowing last year, I can't imagine how hard it would be running up and down those hills with lousy footing. It is a nice course, and I only encountered one driver who could qualify as the New Hampshire version of a Masshole. Nothing for finishing, just the shirt which you picked up with your number. It's a nice quarter zip technical shirt, with the "Moderately Challenging" slogan on the front and the hill graphic from the first post on the back. I don't think the graphic is breathable, but at least it's not as large as that horrendous dinner plate sized Applefest logo on the front from a couple years ago. If you signed up and paid the registration fee, it would definitely be worth paying the postage if GDTC is willing to send it to you. I was pretty dehydrated and I think my taste buds were frozen, but there was a nice variety of food afterwards. I was more focused on Powerade and hot chocolate, and just choked down a couple of Domino's slices. If there was a massage table or chair I didn't see it.
