I figured that the race would take five or six hours but the runners were released at different times to cut congestion so we were there for ten hours.
A lot of fun, great people watching and gorgeous weather but next time, I will bring a book or two. My partner was a retired Navy Submariner with a lot of stories and we were pretty busy with the radio work. Had the usual share of bumps and bruises to call in as well as one incident that may develop further.
It was a lot of fun to listen and hear the earlier stations signing off and the later stations joining in - there was this great procession of human runners traveling through the arteries of three counties and we could feel its pulse through the Aether.
Stopped off for dinner on the way home and will surf for a bit but very tired and planning to sleep in tomorrow.
This race will be on my agenda next year and now that I know what it entails, I will be better prepared.
