Temps would be a "balmy" 46 at the start, slowing dropping to 40 by late afternoon. There was a light breeze in the morning that picked up late in the day. Light rain was falling at the start. It was a misty, drizzly day with occasional periods of light rain.

Like last year, there were 400 or so entrants. Unlike last year, there were many no-shows and also many runners that dropped down in distance. The field was noticeably smaller in the start video:
The theme for LLTH this year was, of course, MUD. Who would have thought with a colder than normal winter up to now, that for race day it would be warmer than usual? Or that it would rain for the 1st time in the 15 year history of LLTH? Yes, it's been very muddy before, but it was from a thawing course or from melting snow/ice -- and then, only in the afternoon.
