The Platte River Half Marathon is super fun. We had very gusty conditions, but it didn’t detract from the happiness experienced by this smoothly operated event with a huge & healthy post race feast and the wonderful crowd support. At every mile, there were cow bells and folks cheering us.
At the end, I met up with friends Maranke and Kelly, who both finished with Big Smiles. I also thanked Christopher Gibbons (814), Bradley Hebert (971), and Kyle ? whom I ran with at various intervals, and provided a wonderful pace.
