The day of the event dawned, and while we knew that due to an access road construction we’d have to manually transport all the event set-up gear 200+ meters, we hadn’t expected a light rain to add insult to injury. Fortunately everything got better: the sun eventually peeked through at times, and the temperatures were temperate (especially for November). We had a sold-out event, and the fall colors were a great backdrop for Peggy’s courses that by consensus were fair and skill-level appropriate. That’s another way of saying plenty of advanced runners found out that no matter how many times they’d been to Great Falls before, subtle contours and woods that tempted you to run too fast while enjoying the colorful scenery could lead to costly errors.
Many thanks to the great crew of event volunteers: Tori Campbell, Amy Louden and Valerie Meyer at the ePunch station, Diana Aleksieva, Michelle Fish, Bob Hart, Suzanne Izzo, Nicole Lennon, Ben Roberts at Registration, Don Fish and Heidi Onkst for Beginner Instruction, Petya Aleksieva, Craig & Daniel Shelden, and Iva Zicha packing up, and Vido Aleksiev, Francis Hogle, Kim & Anne Jepsen, Sam Listwak and Mark Mace helping with control pickup. Same time next year?
