Jo Si's Staging Area

Where do i start? Showed up super early for event only to wait in line for a 1 hour for a shuttle bus. I was wave one so the first wave to start. I arrived and noticed wave 1 didn’t wait for the rest of us to arrive left. I quickly removed my gear, didn’t stretch and left with wave 3. But now since the trails were not wide especially thru the tunnel, i found myself trying to dodge thru slower groups of people in a tunnel that has pot holes with little visibility.
The course itself was beautiful and the terrain was rough but I’m used to running on trails. There was little support on the route and aid stations. No gels, not enough gatorade or no support? WTF!!
The race director really needs to give his head a shake especially dive the heat and dehydration starts kicking in.

At the end of the race, there were bananas, pretzels, bagged pbj sandwiches, chocolate milk and only 1 bottle water. Yes only 1!! A lady was manning the water and telling you that every person only receives 1 bottle water. What ? I was cramping and needed fluids!! I ended up cramping and luckily a spectator offered me more water. I seriously don’t know what my fees were for!! This was the worst experience i have ever had especially for a person who travelled many miles away.
