"OK - so this is the second time I've done this event. I don't compete anymore (kids, life, etc)... but a coworker convinced me to do it last year and it was fun. I don't take it seriously and just want to have fun... and the point of the story: Last year it was on (or near halloween) and there were two guys ahead of us that went. They were full on dressed up in bear suits. Some time in the middle of the course while I was suffering, we passed them. They were both on the side of the road in the wood, peeing.... "two bears peeing in the woods." it was THE FUNNIEST thing! In retrospect, I wish I had stopped and snapped a photo.
