It was very very very good. Course started out wet, light rain a couple of times for the first couple laps then stuff started drying out, pavement was dry for the finish. They did cut off part of the course due to flooding....no surprise-there was lots of flooded areas everywhere. Think it came to around 50 miles rather than around 70.

I only have an old slow digital so it was hit or miss on the 239 shots I got....some were pretty blurry, like the one that most needed to be not, Chicci's win. That and the shadows. Urgh and darn it all to pieces!!!

Awaiting the start
