Great race report, as usual. As a former regular of this race, I think your account of the hills both up and down is highly accurate. Glad they have more aid stations now. It's one reason I don't do AFC anymore. For what they charge, they should be able to afford more water.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-81416798667363078192009-05-02T17:24:00.000-07:002009-05-02T17:24:00.000-07:00Congrats on a great race.

And so funny!!<br /><br />Congrats on a terrific run. <br /><br />I hear ya re porta potties (although my experience of them is more at rock festivals that running festivals) - aren't they DISGUSTING?! What is wrong with people? <br /><br />I know it's probably pretty gross, but I'd rather find a nice private tree for any liquidous release than go anywhere where there's so much as a skid mark on the side of the bowl...!! Must be the Aussie in me... <br /><br />I'm so glad you didn't take a pic of the shizzle - I would have had nightmares for surebies tonight :)Melanie Taithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460650556241407733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141971839070256791.post-78395345026838659392009-04-29T06:34:00.000-07:002009-04-29T06:34:00.000-07:00Awesome race report as usual!

Sweet girl, but she came out of the potta-potty and I walked in. AHHHH! I don't think she had any idea she had left that treasure. I decided to skip the potty stop entirely.
