After seeing the Mad Half website I HAD to run this gorgeous race! Unfortunately (and fortunately) when I registered I didn't do a lot of research into the location. As the race date approached I began to look for a hotel...not an easy task! I ended up finding a tennis resort about 15 minutes from the start line and booked 2 nights. I drove up Friday, 11 hours, arriving after dark. Saturday (today!) morning I made my way to the Waitsfield Inn to pick up my packet...this place is BEAUTIFUL! There was a farmer's market going on across the street...the selection was unreal...I would LOVE to have the availability of such fresh food at home! After checking out Waitsfield I headed to the Ben & Jerry's factory for a tour then to the Cabot Store Annex for some great cheddar. On the way back to the resort I made a reservation for dinner at the Barn Door. Their approach is barn to table, their food is beyond description with atmosphere and service to match! If you ever find yourself in Waitsfield, VT (near Sugarbush ski resort), find the Barn Door and have dinner! You'll be glad you did!
Now, my race outfit is set out...my knee straps, Garmin, race belt, iPod, and Body Glide are laid out...and I'm off to bed! Race starts at 7:30! Good night everyone!
