We just missed the snow to the chagrine of the Race Director who was hoping for a wind driven blizzard that never materialized until hours later when we left the comforts of Khoury's State Spa after a festive night of running and socializing....
Jim Croke showed up seconds late and fresh from his honeymoon somewhere south where it doesn't snow and surprisingly with fresh legs to still place in the top five of the Open division....
Greg Grant DNF'd and then balled out the RD for not havin' porta potty's on the course...gonna have to consider raisin' the $.50 fee to make the course more accomodating....Good Night, Nice People...Life is good!!!
