[quote=Anonymous]I ran the half.  My first rock n roll.  Was not impressed by race organization at all.      Had to wait for a water cup to be filled.    I was going for a PR so luckily I carried my own water and only needed to stop once.        I got very confused at the finish chute.      I was sprinting to make my goal and when I went under an inflated orange arc with a timing pad underneath I thought i was done.  stopped running and stopped my watch   1 minute short of my PR.  Yay.  But wait why is everyone still running. Realized I was not at the finish line yet!        Sprinted it in and still finished 20 seconds short of my goal but i was pissed.    When I came back around to the finish to wait for my husband i saw they had taken down the orange arc. Stupid.

When I crossed the finish line I had to pick up my own medal, get my own water bottle and track down a blanket.     My hands were cold so I could not open my water bottle.  Took me 10 minutes to find a race staffer who was not too busy trying to take pictures to help me.      Then waited 40 minutes at gear check to get my bag.   Realized when I got home someone helped themselves to my North Face windbreaker that I decided to check when I realized it would stay dry.

I am doing the Nashville RNR 1/2 in April.   Will be curious to see what happens there.   I certainly won't be checking a bag.

That said I was grateful for the good weather and the health the God has blessed me with to allow me to do these things.

Run Happy!
