SUPPORT
Vic Kaiser - Signholder (<---Finish Line/2nd Loop--->)
Lisa Leese - Water Stop
Vic's son and daughter/Waverly Walk - Water/Pepsi Station Support
(Special note: I know their names and got to meet them today. Vic keeps their names off of his blog, which I initially goofed and changed here. Seemed like Waverly and her hit it off quite a bit!)
Me? -- Moral support to runners at the finish and on the course. I also watched Luis Armenteros and Rudy Rocha the entire race from the back of an HPD cruiser. Never got to use my pipes all morning long. (And no, Sarah, I didn't get into trouble! Plus it was NOT comfortable back there!)

(By the way, Ms. Cassie, is this more like it?)

Thanks for the moral support Jon! I must say it gave me a vote of confidence when my name was being called from the pace car (especially, with the runners around me).
I thought the guy holding the sign at the finish line looked familar. Thanks Vic. WTG!
And thanks for the official results. I'm happy with today's race although my legs are pretty sore. I'm just glad the Astros are on so that I have somthinjg to watch. Not to mention my wife went to go get PIZZA!
Thanks Again!
yes!! yay! woohoo!!
much more like it Jon *wink wink*
It was awesome seeing you in the pace car!! As someone who's been in the back of a cruiser MANY times (my dad's people, not going to jail!), I know it's not comfortable, but MAN! What a sweet gig!!!!
This was the first time I've ever been to the 20k and the whole thing was really great! Striders are awesome managers!!
Also, that was a kick *ss time on yesterdays Huntsville Half. Nice work!
Thanks for the support, Jon! It made my morning to see ya, especially cheering at the finish!
And way to go with Huntsville's race-that is NOT an easy course! Maybe I will run it with you next year!

Lance,
It wasn't my voice, but I was giving Doug Spence the names of either people that I knew ... or could put the bib number to a list that I had.
And yes, I saw you trying to will Steve to go even faster just before the finish line too! (Yes, I was all over the place.)
What's never been done at a Houston race that I've been to is a finish line electronic mat that when the chip passes over ... it flashes the name on the computer so a public address announcer at the finish line can call the runner's name out.
I first saw it done last year at the Little Rock Marathon (I did the half).
Jon
