Here's something I noticed. I don't see anyone in your pictures or the website that looks over 35---I'm in my 50's! Do they have an old people ramp for really tough climbs :-)
It's both funny and disturbing about the tornado, once the race was cancelled transportation back to the parking area was basically non-existent so there were literally thousands of folks on top of the levee walking/running about 2mi or so back to where they had us park, which was basically swampland so HUNDREDS of cars/SUVS were stuck in the mud for hours, all while the tornado is coming. I had a moment of clarity where I hear the sirens going off, I'm stuck in the mud and theres no where for me to go. Not exactly how i thought my last minutes would be haha.

Old is a state of mind :-) I vividly remember a lady that was out there and she had to be in her 60s, she had her shoes in her hand and was just moseying along having a good time, covered in mud..LOL
