The Bix

Run into some old friends from another group or board? Want to do a little schmoozing, talk over old times? Or just some off topic stuff, then this is the place.

Anyone run it? Ran it for my first time ever this year, and it was a good time.

Looks like a tough course with all those hills.

Funny story. The Kenyan who was in the lead on the home stretch actually stopped under one of the overpasses thinking the race was over. He celebrated and did a taunting gesture by doing a slicing motion across his throat. Soon, he was passed by a group of Kenyans and eventually went on to take 5th when he finally figured out he wasn't finished yet.

The distance is a little odd. Why 7 miles instead of a much more common 10k?
