That was Fun :)

Hola, Parking was great and a few meters from the staging area. The route was perfect, I was able to run most of the course during my warm up run. The route was well marked and well guarded by Leon Valley law enforcement. Also, the course was so very beautiful as it meandered through neighborhoods, recreational areas, Evers Rd, the park, and had an awesome home stretch for the finish back at Northwest Little League. It helped that it wasn't an out-and-back course-it was an overlapped circuit. It was fun to hear the cheers from homeowners watching the race from their front yards. Oh, and the deer along the park portion were awesome to encounter, I counted 12 along the course:) Results were quick and the awards were immediate. One just had to enter the bib number to know the time and updated ranking right away. The good folks at LVHS were unquestionably professional at all stages of putting on this event. From professional photographers to awesome warm up exercises led by Camp Gladiator everything went so very well. My hat goes off to everyone involved in organizing the race and I will definitely recommend it to friends and familia :) Sincerely, Oscar Roberto Castaneda
