    I like to get to races early and then sit around gear check until the crowds get bigger around there but I was around until 6:50. Didn't recognize anybody but there were just so many people there by then!

    While I am not going, I live nearby, so if you all plan on hanging out somewhere afterwards, I'd love to come to that.

    New course this year, we no longer have to run through McCormick Place and get to run on LSD, but everything else should be the same.
