Notes
Warm-up: Getting to the start line sucked this year. Due to flooding and security, no one could be dropped off this year (like I was last year), so everyone had to take the buses, and I don't think the organizers were ready for that. We got to the buses at 5:30, waited in line for 30min, bus ride only took 15min, but we had to wait another 20 until we could get off the bus. Then the bathrooms were chaotic (in retrospect, I think there were plenty more porta-potties further away, but no one could see them). So I got split up from Pollux and Rebel while each of us headed for the woods. I eventually made my way down to the campground below the dam like last year, found a bathroom all to myself, and then ran down there some before climbing back up the dam just in time for the start. So basically it was a minimal warm-up.
Cool-down: Easy, slow mile with Pollux, new guy, and Kris Spoth.
