There was a definitely concern about the heat. We didn't know what was going on at the time, but the race was cancelled mid-afternoon due to too many heat related issues - overheating, heat exhaustion, I heard even a heart attack.. but that's hearsay. The rest of the race weekend is cancelled due to what happened today. It is too bad. There were many people that were prepared for the heat, and the race coordinators did a great job having lots of water stations. But there were also a lot of people that did not heed to any of the heat warnings and recommendations (no water, no sun protection, no food, etc.). I stopped several times to help out people that were cramping on the side. Passed off several mustard packets and GUs. Luckily our heat time was early enough that we were able to do the whole course and finish!
More detailed summary to come at a later time...
