I saw people trying to fence hop, but the volunteers were stopping most of them -- so I think you got lucky sneaking in. Waiting 40 minutes for wave two would be a drag.myrunningshortshttp://myrunningshorts.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655777594823363154.post-91476718149196661412009-11-12T17:07:03.919-05:002009-11-12T17:07:03.919-05:00HA, I had to laugh about that Italian guy just dropping trou like that in public.

At least you made it in. There were no announcements or signage in the orange area either. I only knew to get over early because someone I spoke to almost got shut out the year before but man, was it crazy. The volunteers were shutting people out and yelling at the fence jumpers while I was still sitting on the ground in the corral. Nuts, and like an above commenter noted...its far more organized at Boston (where I was still in the port o john line close to the start when the gun went off, and still started with the first wave.)<br /><br />Also regarding that dude? Ew. The Italians were smoking over in the orange village.angryrunnerhttp://angryrunner.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655777594823363154.post-26625912513980709202009-11-07T15:12:53.855-05:002009-11-07T15:12:53.855-05:00You&#39;re killing me!!!!
