ORF runners

Big crowd

I carried my 2:15 pace sign for the half marathon again today.  Our group was a bit smaller this year but everyone was just as happy.  I had a lot of people coming up to me after the race to thank me for setting the pace.  They were not hanging out with us but they were following for the whole race.  The course layout had some minor changes but they were all good.  The biggest and best change was finishing on the street rather than an alley.  There was a bit of a cattle shoot after the finish line that had everyone getting cozy while trying to make it past the photographers.

It was nice to see the Brazen racing crew and regulars at today’s race.  Sam completed the marathon then went to work on about 10 minutes rest.  He is a machine.
In an effort to get this post up quickly, I am cutting it short.  It was great seeing all of my old friends and great meeting all of my new friends.
