See what happens your event is canceled 8^). Besides most people
I talked to had new tires that they wanted to scrubbed in before the
tour.
>2. Great weather, with some breezes to keep it cool in the afternoon.

In helmet bag all the time.

It's the 3 and 3 run group thing.

Craig usually does a good job.

Was it that long? I ran in that group and I figured hour and a half, but
what's ten minutes in the sun.

Neither does new BFG g-Force

They where overwhelmed by the turn out. Julie normally has food left over.

Technically they decided to play by the rule book. For years
it has not been a problem, but the course was closer to the passage.

Yes Jim, I did run and didn't screw-up the new tires 8^)
