Action 399 - Choose To Start. At least, I choose to drive to the Start Line, run my race, and then take the bus back to the Start.
All week I was sure that I would do the opposite, park at the Finish Line and shuttle to the Start. I gave it a lot of thought this evening and I realized I was making a mistake. I am an early riser and I get to events very, very early. If I shuttle up, I will be standing around for an hour and a half before the event. But if I drive to the start, I can sit in my car, play with my iPad, and relax comfortably until it is time to queue up.
After the race, I won't be fighting a lot of traffic, either. I plan to stay at the Finish Line until the last runner crosses (approx 11:00am), and the last bus departs at noon. So by the time I am ready to go, most of the other folks will be long gone.
This works for me. I just needed to think it through.
