Event comments:

They did get started a few minutes late, but I'm not going to count off too much since it gave me one extra trip to the porta-john.

Overall, very happy with this race. It was my first half-marathon and the first time I'd ever run 13 miles in one sitting. The crowds and volunteers were awesome - and meeting up with my high school buddies I hadn't seen in 20 years made the whole weekend awesome.
