• Comments: There was a lot of hype about the new "Stadium to the Sea" course and as a LA Marathon supporter I was glad to see the big turnout. Logistics weren't always great, though. Lots of complaints about the lack of access to the party (and gear bag claim). And the net downhill was a bit lost on everyone I talked to because of all the severe hills in the first 7 miles: People's quads--like, for instance, mine--were pretty trashed before the late miles. But the race has definitely come up in the world under its new ownership and the course at least gives a better taste of more of the different sights and communities of L.A.

• Comments: This was a great race. Well organized with great energy from the staff, volunteers, racers, and support! The course was challenging, but never too hard. There are no flat parts on the route, but the crowd was always there to carry you along when you needed them.

• Comments: Great race that I will do again. Marathons are always really crowded for me at the start, and I don't like that. I packed 5 gels with me which worked great with the on course water and powerade. Back and neck were sore most of the time but I don't feel like it affected my performance much. It was a 11min PR, but still not good enough to break 4hrs. Perhaps I will do another marathon soon.

• Comments: The aid stations up to mile 5 were pretty disorganized, but after that they were steady and great. Biggest issue, and it was a major one, was the traffic heading into Dodger Stadium. It took us over 1.5 miles to go the 3-4 miles from downtown to the stadium and we ended up late - and I was on an official race shuttle.
