Lovely easy-to-read story about your experience of it, and we enjoyed reading it. That one photo makes us see that it's pretty high at one point and wonder if people have problems with the run if they're a little scared of heights.

I used to like oranges, until one day the acidity got to me. <br><br>I guess they also had pb&j rollups, which would have been great, but I missed them :( the grapes were good, except at one aid station, they had seeds!

What a great idea! I've cut up bagels and eat lots of sports beans, but grapes sound like the perfect running fuel. Nice work on the race.
