What a mess that was. In the previous 6 years we've run this race, it's been a simple matter of breezing into Gaillard Auditorium, looking at the board for our bib number, then walking in and getting our bib/chip/packet and heading back out to browse the vendors and the freebies.
Not this time.
When we arrived, we saw all these people crowded around the street corner like they were waiting to cross. Weird, I thought, and I went on to cross the street. No, they were waiting in line to get in. We started passing them and then line extended the entire block and around the back of the building. I told Dawn to just go look around since she already had her packet mailed to her.
An hour + later, I had my packet in hand and we were headed to eat dinner at 830pm.
Lesson learned: Have the packet mailed from now on.
