It's unfortunate that stuff like this happens.<br /><br />I thought the inaugural year of the 10K was 2006. I ran it that year, and it was an utter mess. The 10K racers were facing the wrong direction at the start because the starting line was the same for marathoners and 10Kers, but the route was in opposite directions! I now call the 10K the neglected step-child of the MCM.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373689960029260919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-79448891029301755812012-10-29T20:56:41.418-04:002012-10-29T20:56:41.418-04:00Great race despite the 2 minutes that were "l...Great race despite the 2 minutes that were "lost".<br /><br />Congrats on your progress.

Congrats on a focused (and speedy!), process-based race success. Also, I LOVE this: "It's really a shame that the race was messed up, but at least we didn't run into a bomb. I'd rather be alive with an inaccurate time than dead!"<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2189875022254484779.post-66981068148892076242012-10-28T21:59:24.936-04:002012-10-28T21:59:24.936-04:00The metro is trying to get everyone to get the sma...The metro is trying to get everyone to get the smart cards, so they are charging extra for the paper ones.
