• Comments: In stark contrast to the Summerfest Half-Mary, this was an extremely well-organized and well-run event. I'm sure it helped that we had perfect conditions on race day. My only knocks on this event were the lackluster post-race activities (no band or decent music) and crappy post-race food (you'd think they could throw in a legitimate picnic lunch.) Other than that, this is a great course and great event.

• Comments: For my first marathon I was really happy. I was right in the middle of my goal time and the 2nd half of my race was just 4 minutes slower than the first half. So maybe dehydration wasn't an issue and my time was right on. As a first time marathoner I really don't know. A day after the race I am very very sore. More sore than I have ever been after 1/2 marathons or tri's. In face, I never get sore after races. I don't know if this soreness is normal or not. I can't understate how sore I am. A very special thanks to my supportive family for making this a really great experience all around.
