I thought about weather as well, but with as many times as this race has been run hard to believe there weren't other years with bad weather. So figured maybe there were other reasons, like rule or route changes, maybe the not as many people racing due to covid. Thought someone might have something tangible beyond speculation.

Why so defensive?
