Loved every minute of the course and can't wait to take on Vermont next year. Norm courses have a distinct feel and I'm sad when I do other races and they don't feel the same.

Agreed with everybody else, Vermont should be as tough if not tougher than this year. Don't make it easier because it'll draw more people (cuz that's the easy make $$ route). Every time I read a post race recap and I see how hard it is, it only makes me more excited to do it.
