  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I really REALLY want to love this race. It's in the summer and at a good time. I love the whole Seafair festivities that go on around this time of year. But they make it so hard! The paper the next day told of how 400 runners were not transported to the startline, but to the halfway point because they wanted to start the race. So people who paid and trained to run a full marathon (some of whom were going for a BQ) were only allowed to run half. Not only that, but three GPS units (mine, Marie's and another person's) measured the route almost a mile short. If it had just been mine I would have blamed it on losing signal, but three? Hmmm. I hope they learn a lot from this race. There was a lot to see this race, but the lack of organization was really really bad.
