  • Comments: Hey Race Directors, I just burned a couple thousand calories on your course. Do you think maybe your post-race food could come in something larger than Auschwitz helpings? I'm friggin' starving over here. I got as much food in one nachos helping from the Dallas Athletes tent as I did from any 4 booths I visited in the AAC.

  • Comments: Well, coming into this, all I could compare my expectations to was the Disney 1/2 I did in January. I ran a 3:27 then, and today 2:40. Not fast, but a 47minute PR. Im estatic about that. I was glad that everyone else had PR days too. I now know what its like to be in the front of the BOP, instead of back of BOP. Ok, maybe middle of. This training stuff reall works!

  • Comments: Excellent course. Good idea to stagger the marathon and half starts and to separate the finishes. I had a blast.

  • Comments: I would have liked to have seen better timing annoucements/signs at the mile markers, but they had someone/something at almost all of them so I really can't complain.

  • Comments: Despite the weather, it was awesome! he post race food was gone when we got there, which was bad considering there were a whole lot of people on the course. The course itself was great. Well marked with tons of volunteers, but the logistics at the AAC were a bit confusing. Can't wait to do it again next year!

  • Comments: I was dissapointed with the organization (traffic, start line, finish line), but impressed with the course and the use of the AAC. Nice enough, but we've checked it off our list and won't do it again.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: The post race was a mess. There was no way to get to Victory Park without being forced to go through the AAC. There were also no signs indicating this fact. Just some police officers blocking off the shortcut gate that I think was supposed to be open. A bit more organization in this area would have helped.

  • Comments: Pretty well run and supported. The course rolled a little in the beginning. The wind was strong and cold at time, but not too bad.

  • Comments: I was really happy with my pace. When I started training last summer, my goal was to run a 9 minute mile pace. That would put me at the finish just under two hours. My best training run was 8:05/mile pace, so I wanted to be around that pace coming into the race. All things considered, I'm very happy with my race ... especially since this was my first half marathon.
