The award for the best pre & post race music goes to...

...The University of Wisconsin Marching Band, for their performance at the Crazy Legs Classic in Madison, Wisconsin!  A wonderful break from that thumpy-thumpy EDM, or whatever you call that pop nonsense.
The band played when the waves were being sent off, and at then end in Camp Randall, the football stadium.  The "Chicken Dance" never sounded better.
Otherwise, it was a quiet run through the U.W. Campus.
I am not a U.W. Madison alumni, but I love running the &*^% hills of Madison.
That didn't sound convincing.  Take two:
I am not a U.W. Madison alumni, but I love Madison.  I've enjoyed visiting there.
Oh yes, the hills are an interesting challenge.  (Was that diplomatic?)
I ran my first Crazy Legs this year with 16,000 of my closest friends.  It was a great experience.
The line for the free beer was too long, so I passed.  (Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy -OK, but Coor's Light?!?!)
The post race food gets high marks.  In Camp Randall stadium, they had orange slices, and bananas.  Outside the stands, Noodle's offered samples of mac & cheese - very nice.
The winner for me was the dried sweet cranberries offered by the state cranberry growers association.  It was the first time I had those.  Wonderful.
