I was there as well, and based on having buses and satellite parking, they were clearly expected more runners. I give then credit for forking out the advertised prize money when they were not obligated to do so. They'd like to grow it into a much larger event and probably want to maintain a good appearance. I did recommend that they move the date earlier, have minimum but reasonable performance standards when asked by the organizers what areas could be improved.For those looking at the HM times, I for one did not think the brisk headwind for the first 3.5 miles and last 1.5 miles did much for my time. But hey, I realize that most of you can run sub 1:07 barefoot in the snow against gale strength winds.
