Loved this race - it was well organized and there were so many people, bands, dancers and organizations, out cheering you on it was awesome. Also they had us running around the Indy racetrack which was beyond cool. The weather was cold and wet - but cleared up beautifully by the end of the race. I had to toss my sweat shirt at the last mile - because it was getting too hot for me.
One thing which made this event so wonderful - that 5 years ago I ran on the Poconos Raceway setting a PR of 2 hours. This year while I did not set a PR, I was able to finish with a sub-2 hour time - which shows you that you don't have to get slower when you get older. :)
