This is the first race report I have ever written as a course monitor.  However, since Merry took pictures and I ended up in too many of them, I guess I better explain the shots I am sending to the webmaster.  First, it was a beautiful day.  The weather was perfect with cool temps and low humidity.  This really helped all of us course monitors with our duties.  Watching scores of runners create a nice breeze as they passed us also helped.  It was grueling on those street corners, but all the sweaty participants made it worthwhile.  I did stagger in from my last duty post and finished last for the day.  I tried to beat a young lady from California, but she tripped me just before the goal line.  Another great race put on by the Pine Belt Pacers. © Steve Ulery
