Notes
Alex's Fat Ass 50 K on a cold, windy but sunny morning (27 at start, 36 at finish), from the Shem Creek Inn in Mt. Pleasant, for a short stroll to Alex's Restaurant for the start. Course ran across the Cooper River Bridge into the historic district of Charleston and back, then out and back along Sullivan's Island to Fort Moultrie, then up to Isle of Palms for 4 miles on the beach (saw a jumping dolphin, sea stars), back by Wild Dunes golf course, then a final 3.5 miles into the wind up and over the mainland connector to the finish line. Grabbed a ride back with another finisher, ending at the great coffee shop we had discovered where they serve coffee brewed by Zoka (Cafe Metto). Shared a sandwich and coffee with leenie, then back to our hotel.
