Guns n Hoses

By the way, the Spillway Classic trail run on Sunday was a blast. There are three main reasons for this:

1) They played the National Anthem. This was the first race I have ever participated in where they did this. It was excellent.

2) Once all 1,400 of us were lined up on the levee in Norco ready to start, the race director/announcer type guy announced it was time to play the theme song. They then began to play "Welcome to the Jungle" and start the race! It was beautiful.

3) Shortly past the finish line, the fire department had their water trucks out to offer up an enormous outdoor shower. OK, that sounds weird as I write it, but who cares? It was wet.

All-in-all, it was fun.
