05.15.10: The Trail That Can't Be Concord

This was a great race. The later-than-usual start meant a little more rest before having to head out, though it also contributed to a warmer race. That heat plus the larger-than-expected turnout meant that there wasn't enough water (such is the uncertainty even experienced race directors like TR face - a big turnout can mean shortages; a small turnout can mean the volunteers have to lug heavy coolers of gator-/power-ade back out - she still did a great job). There was plenty of food and even with no awards ceremony a lot of runners hung out to socialize after the run.

Brent Johnson, Brad Adams, & Justin Hiday were the top 3 men, while Laura Gearhiser, Christi Deyton, & Susan Finney were the first 3 females to cross the line. As is usual with the TTT series, there were no awards except series points (based on overall finish; volunteers also earn series points) which counts towards awards at the end of the series (the Top 10 Open & Masters, male & female) and complimentary hotel accommodations for and free entry into Big South Fork or the Cumberland Trail 50k for the overall Open & Masters winners (again male & female).
