Thanks to all Skagit Runners that made it to the race yesterday. We had more
help than we knew what to do with. It's always good to have too many helpers
than not enough. The finish, results, and course were perfect. The only
complaints I received were:

1) No Gu on course like promised.
2) Mile 1 bathrooms not open for the 1/2 marathoners.
3) Only 1/2 of the ribbons ordered.
4) Some 41 year old in the 5k running like he was on steroids ( Congratulations
Keefer!)

Minor problems, Next year will be even better. They had about 160 people
combined in both events. The event raised about $1500 for the Tommy Thompson
Parkway Beautification Project. Thanks to all Skagit Runners for helping out
with the race and/or running in the race.

I just ran the 1/2 marathon course as a training run, The hill on North Texas is
a long one, but as soon as you peak the hill it is all downhill and flat for the
reat of the course. The course is probably the most scenic I have ran!
