Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 13K -- Oct. 27, 2007 - Page 9

Yeah, the humidity sucked. I was really hoping that would be one of the advantages of a night race: for once the temperature wouldn't be increasing as the race went along. Instead it just started out set at "teh suck" and stayed there.

It was really obvious how much difference the trees make in humidity so if they do it again I recommend that they clear cut the route as the wide open spaces were pleasant.

That said, all in all there wasn't much to recommend about this event. Most of the logistical and management problems can be fixed but it will remain a fact that the the course isn't interesting and it is way overpriced for what they can deliver. On top of that they'll probably try to grow the event which will be bad since the early course can't really handle more people without doing significant start management which is unlikely.

I am glad that they didn't cheap out on the medals. I was expecting they would since they cheaped out on everything else.

I'm sorry the even wasn't what it could have been, but congratulations to all of the Lot participants - MF, HTH, Alex, & Steph. I admire your ability to run and or walk through soup.

Congrats to all! I applaud your efforts (particularly since I know I can't match that at this point, not even close to 1k)

and now that you've done the hard part, reward yourselves with
