Laurie Nicholson's thoughts:

Unable to rate expo as we came in after 5 on Saturday night so we got there early to pick up Sunday morning. The cop wouldn't let us thru to park in the free parking so we paid 5 bucks to park. Meh on that decision but would have been nice to know that the cops were going to cut us off at a certain time. But 5 bucks for decent parking wasn't upsetting. So we get our stuff then out the shirt back in the vehicle and head back to the start line. 1st mistake for me. I don't fit in women's cut shirts. I should have checked and got the guys. But alas my fault. So the line for the inside bathrooms was long went to porta potties not long line and then waited for the start. Chip timed with shoe chips. I am a slower runner course was marked ok but boring as heck. Lots of run to the cone or person and turn around. Boring boring boring course thru a warehouse parking lot even. Lots of hot space with no shade. No ice available and I didn't see any gu or food on course :( just water and Gatorade. Medal ok. Shirt will be donated because it doesn't fit. No food at the end. Got a water and headed home. Too bad because paid less for other races with better support for us slow runners.
