Bumping this back up. Good luck wa-loaf! Anyone else doing this thing?

We've got 14 people coming down for the 11:00 wave on Saturday. Staying at some dive in Hampton Beach Saturday night. Yee-haw.

Wa-loaf, how was it today?

Over 10,000 people ran the course on Saturday. Muddy as a mofo! 18 people from our area showed up. One of the women took off and ended up 649th overall. The rest of us stuck together and ended up around 7,200th :lol:.

Today was fun. It was basically 3 miles of ankle to knee deep mud with a few token obstacles thrown in. I was actually cruising past most people on the muddy downhills, skiing skills coming to use lol. Not sure about the others but I came in 1675 of 4953 (114 of 253 for men 40-44).

My crew today I'm on the left:

must suck to be the one who has to clean those shuttle buses after that event :lol:

I'm just having a hard time wrapping my mind around 10K people being there. That's crazy for a not very large facility

The had "showers" two snow guns going full blast ... actually not very effective and rather uncomfortable ..

They are spread out through the day. Wave's went out every 1/2 hour all day long so there probably weren't more than 2k people there at a time.

On Saturday they had parking in a big field that turned into a mud pit. 4x4 vehicles were getting stuck. They had an excavator there pulling cars out. People were pissed. Maybe they gave up on that idea for Sunday.

They were letting people go in groups of 600. Here's the tail end of one of the waves leaving the start.

A simple garden hose would have worked a lot better than that fan gun.

Yeah, they had it closed and were turning us away.
