"FlatRock is hands down my favorite race, ever. I wish I lived closer so I could run that course more often and see all of you that organize the race...the course seems to beat me every year. The first year I had blisters so bad, I couldn't run for weeks. For some stupid reason, I didn't go to FlatRock 2 or 3, but I have been back every year since. The "Year of the Women", I was actually leading the race at the turnaround, mainly because the 4 leaders got lost. But even then, I ran out of gas and was delegated to walking at the end."
