1	We had 210 runners this year, 75 of which were 50k runners (15 less than last year). Fed approx 275 people.
2	Penske truck rental from Germantown. Moves went smooth. Fewer shuttling of food & equipment by personal vehicles.
3	Taking truck to park & plugging in fridge at Shelter the night before worked out well.
 	Ranger at gate by 5 am
4	We had tables arranged in the shelter & truck unloaded by about 5:45 am   First bus arrived late at 6:40 as they got lost.
5	Having AS Leads purchase bread, bananas, & fruit worked out great. Less work & coordination on us.
6	
NOT having AS Leads pick up their equipment on Friday seems a much better approach. Easier for us to coordinate by bringing to Shelter early Saturday morning.
7	Used water tap at restrooms for refilling jugs
8	Bringing in ice in 2 deliveries worked well. Less melting & waste.
9	
Soda at all the AS was poured into small Dixie cups (qty about right).  Water, Coke, Gatorade, & Tailwinds were by far the most popular drinks.
10	Brought 7 bundles of wood. Used 5 bundles in 5 hours. Brought 45# of charcoal. Used 25#.
11	
All the food was really good quality, cooked right, & were ample portions. The cut of meat for the BBQ may have been a cheaper grade than previous years yet flavor was still good. Watermelon was popular but with 2 leftover.
12	Two shelters over the serving area worked well. Also 2 tables & 1 picnic table for serving tables was ideal.
13	As usual, the freezer pops were a BIG hit for runners & family members. Ice cold cokes & Gatorade at Finish was also popular
14	Many compliments on having multiple beer choice selections. Only kegs were the ones Jeremy brought & maintained.
14	All runners checked out with Race people. No chasing them down after race.
16	Packing & cleanup crew of 2 men was small but worked.
17	The quantity & quality of the volunteers were very good this year. 
18	Go to TAB at bottom for usage & inventory of Tents, Tables, & Jugs
19	Didn't have to go to store for extra purchases during race.
MINUS	
1	Bus driver got lost on initial run. Didn't arrive till 6:40 am which delayed 50k race start by 15 minutes.
2	No water at tap by shelter. Used tap at restrooms instead.
3	Packed T-shirts in truck as directed, then wanted them night before race to sort by size
4	Could have used an extra volunteer or 2 in pavilion area to watch trash or serving line.
5	We had many leftover hot dogs, sausage, buns, & bbq pork.
6	We ran out of hamburgers by 3 pm. Vegi burgers not as popular this year.
7	Ran out of gatorade about noon at AS 4
8	Quite a bit of canned beer leftover. Jeremy returned.

Suggestions for Future	
1	Upgrade shed doors at Elkridge residence & store fridge & equipment inside. Eliminates & saves $500 annual storage cost. 
2	If we use shed at Elkridge, we can access & haul refrigerator easier to Montg Village without needing to use Tom's trailer & house.
