At least it's not as bad as calling 5K's mini marathons! :D<br /><br />I think it's also not coincidence that this race is schedule almost exactly a month prior to the huge Columbus Half/Full marathon with half those distances available. Training race anyone?Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869981194700422927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611636543343595600.post-37655290872120158792012-08-27T10:17:21.954-07:002012-08-27T10:17:21.954-07:00The bagels and water were still there, because the...The bagels and water were still there, because they were still there when I finished my bonus 3 after you. There definitely weren't as many volunteers making them obvious though. Luckily, I knew where to look. ;) Nonetheless, it was much more "put away."<br /><br />The last aide station on the course was still fully manned and very friendly when I ran out to them as well.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869981194700422927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611636543343595600.post-70684550126376281522012-08-27T09:51:45.567-07:002012-08-27T09:51:45.567-07:00Oh and the port-o-potty I went to was out of the h...Oh and the port-o-potty I went to was out of the hand sanitizer stuff.

No bagels, no water, no massage. In fact, all of it was being taken down. Even the MIT pace team didn't wait for me to return my sign. Apparently 3:20 is too long for them to wait. I need to send a letter to the race director because if the course closes at 4 hours, support should be there 4 hours. It was BS. Only later did i actually hear that Snowville was there and Panera. PRetty disappointing if you ask me. Otherwise, it was great to see you! I wish I had paced 13 with you! Would have been fun!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05685998726719731301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611636543343595600.post-48347649648825391682012-08-27T09:28:47.314-07:002012-08-27T09:28:47.314-07:00LOVE the medals!

The medals look cool though. I like when medals are race specific, but I guess it doesn't matter. Most races near me don't give out medals for anything shorter than a half marathon. dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05022522091692097344noreply@blogger.com
