Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon - RunHalf Marathon

Race was not as good as in years past. There was a very long stretch in the sun where for about 2 miles there was no water stop. They did not give gel out this year either. With the coral start...most of the spectators on the course were gone by the time my coral (19) got there...so it wasn't as lively this year.

I would have stayed at a comfortable pace for the first 6 miles. I ran the first 6 a bit faster than I should have to finish strong.

Beer.


My left knee is really getting to be a problem.


1. When I finished..there was no water left. They were giving 3,4,6 bottles out to people that finished before me and there was nothing left for the thousands of people that finished after 2:30.
2. I went to the medical tent to get ice for my knee and they told me to find it somewhere else because I wasn't passing out. (what the f*ck is a medical tent for?)
3. They did not do a good job of making sure there was enough water stops along the route. Especially miles 9-11....only one water stop..and that's the toughest part of the course..and there is no shade for that part. A LOT of people were dropping like flies during this stretch.
