Skunked 3 DF'ers in the first 2 laps and one of em was kinda mouthy about it. As soon as I got in front he said I wouldn't be able to hold it. He didn't last more than a quarter mile...gotta love aerodynamics

I was there again today, slightly less wind however I caught the end of a marathon event so there was some dodging of runners for the first lap. Interesting thing was there were no cars or bikes anywhere until about 1:00

Saw someone on a yellow Bacchetta sitting along the south side, no mouthy DF'ers this time Sad

Glad I caught it afterward, they had just a few hundred stragglers by the time I got there

They may have during the start of the event but they didn't do anything to stop me
