Any recs for a good spot for spectators? My wife will be running her first half so I'll have (3) kids in tow. Ideally I'd like to camp somewhere around mile 5, then head to finish line but not sure if I'll have time for that with road closures and not being familiar with the area.

G looks like a good spot. Definately have them make signs. Gives them something to do while you're waiting.

If anybody is running the 5K/10K tomorrow, I'll be at the UCAN table, stop by and say hello.

I am in the same boat as to cheering mom on. Any suggestions on where to park when we get down to the finish line area?

Pilot what is going on down there. I heard a bomb threat and they've shut down the convention center

Looks like a security guard found a backpack with what looked like dynamite and a call was placed to crime stoppers saying the convention center would blow up in 30 min. They've closed packet pickup for the night but plan to reopen tomorrow. People running the 5k/10k tomorrow can pick up packets starting at 6.

Have a great run Ags!

My race.



But I knew that I would either put up a good time or crash and burn. Great course.

Bummer. I was pulling for you. I think you made the right move if you are going down do it in a blaze of glory.

Had an ok half (2:04). Wasn't expecting to beat my PR with the training I had been putting in. So I was happy overall.

Thanks. Around 7:35 for 17.

Finished 3:45.

It's a respectable time bu not what I wanted. Just proud I fought thru it.

2:25 for the half. My arches are killing me, I can barley walk, the last 3 or 4 miles were brutal. I saw the one true muser as well.

Great day for running! I ran the last leg of the relay. The hills up Winsted and Tokalon sucked.

We had to come down those on the full and we were like, oh *****

bummed your race didn't turn out like you had hoped. You're pretty close, make some adjustments to your training and you'll get it next time.

Thanks. I think so too.

My first timing error. My gun & chip times were exactly the same though I started a little bit back in the pack. Figured the mat at the starting line didn't read me as I crossed. I asked about it, timing folks confirmed that's what happened, and corrected it. Not a big deal, or even much of a time difference, but it didn't make sense and I wanted to see what went wrong or if my watch was inaccurate. Glad I asked.
