This would have been a Great race instead of just good, with the exception of the weather. You would expect a September race to be nice and cool, but it ended up being a freakishly warm and humid (80s) day, and after a mile, it was rough pushing through already

Bands, music on course, plenty of color and water and post race refreshments. Chip timed for those that want to know how long they lasted
