"I just wanted to say how very much all your hard work was appreciated!  You put together a top notch race and incredible goody bags!  (I've never had so many quality items in a goody bag before...Far better than any Big Sur event I've done (done all 3) or countless other big name events)  All the hard work and preparation showed.  This was one of the most memorable events I've done,  thank you.  The shirt design was incredible and hopefully will advertise this race to more in the community.  I just wanted you to know that your hard work was and is appreciated"
