I've decided that the Manchester Road Race will be my last run before surgery tomorrow morning. Overall, the MRR was a disappointment. My brother and I could not get into Manchester, and we found ourselves driving back and forth on I384 between exits 1 and 5 until finally getting off exit 2, which put us about a mile from the start with only 5 minutes until the start. We ran to the start, and by the time we got there, the race had already begun. I have only a gun time. Apparently, I didn't activate the timing device at the start. Ah well. Because I started so far back, I couldn't find a stride and had to jog/walk and trip over people for 4.748 miles.
My next run won't be until sometime during the fourth week of December.

Sorry to hear about your difficulties. They posted an apology on their website for the shuttle overload. I ran into some trouble at the starting line when a volunteer told me to go to the end of the line since I didn't have my under 35 min card. I told him to give me a break, but the bastard wouldn't budge. So, I waited until the gun and jumped in when they go out of the way. I suppose these are the problems with big races.
