Thank you for your service yesterday. It was a huge race with between 1,000 and 1,100 runners on the course.

From the NC perspective communication among us was solid. The W1GLO repeater has been performing very well and our volunteers following protocol for the race was never better.

We are aware of two significant medical emergencies resulting in transport to the hospital. It appeared that dehydration was a factor in both. We were involved in the reporting of one of those emergencies, W1CAF at CP4.

YuKan race support (their van and crew) are working very closely with us behind the scenes and by listening to our net that support is able to respond quickly to situations that we identify. As the YuKan crew cannot transmit on their radio, communication often goes to cell phone between NC and the van. It was a somewhat unusually long race due to the numbers and the speed of the trail-end runners. Kudos to W1PAG in the trail vehicle who is always the last of us to complete his duties in every race.

Thanks everyone for being in position in a very timely way and doing your jobs well. We are always looking for your feedback and suggestions and we'll often share feedback back out to the group if it looks like everyone would benefit from considering it. You can always email us at races@caara.net.
