The weather was pleasant for waiting for the start and hanging around afterward but it was a bit warm for running due to a slight tailwind - but we had no serious cases of heat stress this year.
With the triathlon conflict keeping the size of the field down, I don't think we need to close Spear Street for the race. Most of the runners crossed to the left side of the road before getting to Gutterson. Next year we will cross the runners to the left side of Spear at Barstow and allow two way traffic during the race. The south bound traffic is light at that time on Saturday anyway and we have been dealing with irate motorists who drive north through the race regardless of instructions.
