 There's something warm + fuzzy about an Autumn, backyard party w/ good ppl, crisp autumn air, a keg of Birch beer, or something like that,.

Well the endurance event gods smiled on the good folks of CGI Sunday, as runners and voluntters were all treated to near perfect 13.1 conditions. It was as good as ever to see the many many farmiliar faces and even get to meet some new ones. Especially fellow KarmaStrider Andrew Scott from waaay up in North Jersey.

Quick eval:
