OVERVIEW . . . . . So, during this time of year weather most certainly is a factory. Sun shinning and no rain but a strong head wind made the mid- 50 degrees feel like the mid-40's. Running races this time of year will truly make you strong and fit for the season. Just don't expect a PR when running into a head wind of 30+ miles and hour.

Both courses were USATF certified. Good course logistics -- of course what do you expect when it's hosted by the military! Good job to the entire MWR team. Next year this event will move up to May. How do you know that maybe you have been doing one military based event too many? When you automatically stand to attention and face in the direction of the American flag during the playing of colors -- whether you can see it or not. But you know it does make you feel good. Everyone showed good metal today.
See you at the next starting line . . . Linda Toretsky-LIN-MARK
