And the hill up onto I-90 is also in the Danskin for the bike leg. It was so crowded at the start and your corral was way ahead of me :) Glad we got to hang out so much after though!<br /><br />Brittany: Thanks! It started to rain on some of the marathoners in the afternoon; luckily, since I only ran the half I didn't have to deal with that. Running in the rain on a trail?
