Chilly 1/2 Marathon Bib PickUp
Drove to Burlington specifically to pick-up bib and tech shirt. Shockingly, my bib #1506 wasn't in the bin. The volunteer had given away my bib by accident -- how this happens is beyond me. Fortunately, they were able to change my bib number and give me a new chip. I was 4th person on the list for a bib change. Oh well, misteaks happen. There was a small expo in the hotel but I didn't buy anything. The race starts at 10:05 am but the last shuttle leaves at 9:00 am. Parking is at the hotel. I'm looking forward to the flat course, but NOT the cold weather (high -5C) and the wind along the lakeshore when coming back. I hope for a time of about 2 hours :-)
