drive around a little before settling for the 12 dollar lots. we found one for 3 bucks only half a mile away...and we're going to register for a race, so why not walk a little bit. \nthey kept things moving and efficient, but when there are so many freebies to hand out, the flow of traffic does bottleneck in some spots (people will wait in line for 30 minutes just for a free water bottle, pen, or chap stick). no beer samples this year...boo hiss.
