  • Comments: I've seen some complaints about this race, and I know Shizu had some issues with it, but I actually thought it was very well organized and I was impressed with the various ammenities. I didn't mind everything being spread out at the start and finish, although I could see how if someone was pressed for time it would be annoying. There were tons of helpful volunteers. The course itself is very pretty, and while the Great Highway section is kind of brutal, it's hard to complain about a five-mile run along the ocean.

  • Comments: My only complaint was the crowd at the end of the finishing chute. Shoulder to shoulder. Sweat pick-up was at the other end of the expo. Very crowded. Otherwise, a very good race considering the number of people (around 9,000 including the 5K)

  • Comments: Did the 5k associated with this race back in 2007 when I was almost 50 pounds heavier and in horrible shape. Finished that 5k in something like 37 minutes. To come back 3 years later as a triathlete and finish the half marathon in 2:23:34 is a huge accomplishment which I'm super proud of. I think that spending the off season this year focused on the run and training for this race was a great decision. Taking this next week easy and then training begins for Wildflower and Vineman!
