---This is why I like to go to races that are at a pub. Slattery's Pub after the race and food and awards turned into a bunch of people making new friends and enjoying each other's company.

---Peter, Sandy and Keith joined me in a great conversation about this race and others that we have done.

---Kyle, Alison, Caitlin, her dad Andy, and I talked races and family over the cold glasses of carbs that seem to make the conversations even more enjoyable.

---Slattery's Turkey Trot in Fitchburg was everything I hoped it would be and more. Put this high on your list of races for next year and come meet the people that make the day great.
