Describe your race day.
Our bus driver drove us to the wrong race site. We were all running the full marathon and he drove us to the half. A couple of us really had to go to the bathroom because the bus ride was almost 1 1/2 hours. The bathroom door on the bus was jammed locked and we couldn’t get it open. We arrived at the race start and I was in the porta potty when the national anthem was sung. The truck to take our bags to the finish was gone. A guy collecting foil blankets took my bag, promising to get it on the truck. When I finished my race my bag was not there. It showed up over an hour after I finished. I still enjoyed the course but the race should have been delayed.

What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Nothing except expo. It was raining
A bit Frustrating
Also I asked two medical personnel on the course for Advil or Tylenol because of rushing at start, I forgot mine. None available and they didn’t even know it. I stood by as they dug in their bins to come
up with nothing. I would consider doing another one of of these
