After the race we HAD to go to the Flying Saucer and semi-celebrate the first official timing. Cool

Results were sent to the race directors yesterday afternoon. Everything went pretty well, a few minor problems but we were able to work them out. The race director took the most heat because some of the runners forgot/weren't told/lost/whatever their chip. NO CHIP...NO TIME. Twisted Evil

Remember that on all of our races.

However, results were also posted at www.macsrts.com on the results link. They'll be there much faster for off site races.

A big Thank-You to Joe! Very Happy

He got stuck in the rain cutting off chips and he was a big help in setting up and tearing down the finish line.

Good job everyone who ran, I hear the weather was less than perfect Wink

Also nice job, Ken on your timing and results system. Hopefully, race directors will get used to ensuring the runners all have a chip!

Shelly...don't kid yourself.... the River Trail 15K is known for issues. The first year I ran it was 2007 and I beleive you can ask anyone that was there. It was so freaking cold but that wasn't even the issue.... the WIND was unbelieveable. We actually had to lean into it to even go anywhere. 2008.... Yes, I was following someone that apparently had not run it much. So, if you ran only 9.3 miles and didn't get blown off the course...IT WAS A PERFECT RACE for the 15K !! Did you say you don't like running in the rain? You would not have had a good time at the Virginia Creeper Marathon then. It was 26.2 miles of rain....and we had a blast! Congrats on your first 15K !

a marathon of rain?! ya'll are better people than me. i think i must have been a cat in a past life. i am glad i did it though, 'cause i learned some things. 1) cotten is way too absorbent to wear in rain 2) same with knit gloves 3) i do not need to fill my hydration system all the way up as it then weighs about 5 lbs 4) plastic bags make a dandy garmin rain protector 5)my i pod is not waterproof 6) and most importantly, i can run 9.3 miles in the rain!

I'm curious. Tell us about the finish line. I thought Glen was in second when I saw him (I don't know him, but someone was right behind Hillary when they passed me going back).

Glen was behind them.... a pretty good ways behind them. Shocked

Not near as far behind them as I was though! Rolling Eyes

Yeah. You'd need a telescope to see them from your place in the race.
