If not, I can tell you that it is just plain weird. Deanna, Allison, and I ran the race Saturday night at 5pm and enjoyed hanging out in the festival-like concert-like atmosphere with the crazies. What makes it so weird? How about the fact that while you are running there are: <ul> <li>People running in costume</li> <li>People running half-naked</li> <li>Free chocolate donuts on the race course</li> <li>After the donuts, free bacon strips</li> <li>After the bacon, free jalepeños</li> <li>After the peppers, free french fries</li> <li>After the fries, free ice cream.</li> </ul> I actually couldn't stomach the fries, and barely finished the race due to my heavy weezing and upset stomach. The final standings: Deanna 1st (29:00), Darin 2nd (32:00), Allison 3rd (32:30).
