The Race!

The Orchestra gave a great concert last night.  One of our best on this trip, I thought. Heldenleben came across especially well.

A YouTube clip of the Friday night performance is available at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fr0IFIChdI

And now, about the race!  We had really good weather - sunny and 50's -- much better than the hot, muggy weather of past years, so there were lots of fast times.

Over 21,000 people ran.  I finished in just under 1:36:00, my best time on this course by far.

Afterwards I joined Zach Lewis, Plain Dealer Music Critic, who also ran the race for breakfast.
