How did you do?

By all accounts Lincoln killed it again this year.

Didn't even get down there. Ended up having to work until 7am this morning. :cry: Lincoln did a pretty good job, though the largest complaint I've heard was that it took nearly 45min to get through the narrowed gates and staggered starts but the cutoff time for the marathon route wasn't updated to reflect the longer time to get out of the gate. So if it took you 30-45min to get out of the corrals you were barely scraping by at a 10:00 mile to be able to make the cutoff for the marathon route.
