WHAT WAS AWESOME ABOUT THIS RACE
Bravo everyone! I feel like everyone is on the same page now and "gets it." On the CGBM side, they organized great course marshals and aid station volunteers to make this a top notch race. The people at inCompetition realized that people actually do wear their shirts around town and like shirts that look like they weren't on close-outs. The shirts were by the far the best they have been for a while. Course host UWGB had a few perks for the course including closing off Main Entrance Drive and opening the golf course restaurant for the race crowd. I'm glad all the parties involved realized that this event is taking off and will continue to grow and add stuff like this.
WHAT WASN'T SO AWESOME ABOUT THIS RACE
I don't have a lot to complain about since when you pay $20 for a race, you say thank you and take what you can get. I felt like the spread was good enough with bananas and bagels. When you pay $20, a lot of the sexier features like clocks at every mile and a chip start and finish instead of just a chip finish would be nice. The golf course restaurant just opened but with the golf course still partially covered with snow, the restaurant was not fully functional a.k.a the sandwich plate lacked chips and the taps weren't hooked up. That's complaining just to complain though. I would like to see some kind of medal in the future though.
