It was an opportunity wasted by me, but thank you De Pere Public Works for scraping the roads for all of the runners. My legs would be trashed because the slickness of the roads and the weaving I would have to do to get good pavement to run on. Instead, even the path around Green Isle Park and the Abbey were fantastic. Honorable mentions are once again the city of De Pere opening itself with specials all day long so the runners felt welcomed and of course, Seroogy's busting out chocolate left and right for the runners and their families.

WHAT WASN'T SO AWESOME?

In the two times I have made wrong turns in races, I wasn't leading a race. I was following a person or persons in the race, and not right behind. If one person does it I can understand you'd let the knucklehead go do his thing. If you let two people go, you might want to re evaluate your directing skills. If you let three people make a wrong turn, then please get help. I will admit: I should have known to go straight. I will admit that every day of the week. I am just sore that I made that big of a mistake after 6 years of doing this race and winning it the previous year.
