Describe your race day.
The expo was easy and well-organized. The pick-up was really no sweat. The next morning couldn't have gone more smoothly for me and the two runners traveling with me. We stayed about 15 minutes away (in some no-name place in Claremont) and drove to the bus area the morning of the race. We were directly exactly to a parking spot and had to walk only about 200 meters to the buses. We got right on at about 4:45am and off we went to the top of the mountain. The bus was comfortable and the ride went smoothly.
When we arrived at the top, there were plenty of port-o-potties and lines weren't very long at all. We didn't have too long to wait and the race started right on time. We had drop-bags to place our gear in and we just tossed them all into a Penske rental truck to be hauled to the finish line.
The race started right on time and off we went!
The finish line amenities were fantastic! They hook you up with a medal right away, water bottles, bagels, pie, bananas, wet towel, energy drinks, etc.
As you walk up to the section to pick up your drop-bag, a kid sees you coming, finds your bag, and delivers it to you before you even get to the area! Sounds funny, but at that point, every extra step comes at a price and it was much appreciated!
Revel does their races right! Could NOT have had a better time! DO THIS RACE!
