  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Two comments: Water stations could have been better stocked with things such as flat coke, gels, chicken broth, chips, endurolytes. Instead, with one exception, aid stations had water, gatorade, bananas, and oranges, (There were several medical tents along the way, but I was afraid of going in and not coming back out.) Second, no finishers medal. The Bataan Survivor seal is a very striking image and would have made an excellent medal.

  • Comments: This would be a great marathon to try to run, very, very challenging. It would be like running a cross-country marathon. I did the whole thing this year with 40 lbs. in my pack. It felt better than last year and I felt better prepared.

  • Comments: Was a very well run race on a really tough course. I recommend this race to anyone that wants a challenge. It is not your normal marathon, and if running up and down hills in the sand is not challenging enough for you....you can always wear the 35lb pack. :)

  • Comments: This was really a training run for me, a chance to test my endurance and leg strength after a major ultra. I was actually very happy. Running this much is simply going to be hard and somewhat painful. From my perspective my training is coming along very nicely.
