Race Reports for Colfax Half Marathon 2011

Race rating (3)

Comments: The race is well organized, with great volunteers. Given the conditions, I was even more grateful than usual for their efforts! Trying to get basic post-race food in the finish area was a bit of a mess. Some people were in line, others weren't, and the line moved extremely slowly--kind of miserable when you are cold and wet and just want to grab something to eat so you can get warm and dry. Doubt many folks stuck around for the post race activities.

Comments: It was nice to see Shannon before the race. We were able to run together for the first 3-4 miles. Then I took off as I was feeling pretty good. Saw her pass me back as I waited for the john. Tried to catch back up, but she was super consistent. Saw her at the finish, and she looked fresh and strong. Ready for Kansas. This was a good race for me. I like pushing my body like this. I'll be sore, but nothing that I can't recover from. I know many people look at a half as easy, but for me, I've found my match. It was fun. I won't say never, but I probably won't see this distance again.

Comments: Had a band set up. It would have been nice to have more port-o-lets on course (had 3-4 every 2 miles, should have had 6-8 every 2 miles). Food service was quick. Coffee service very slow (individual k-cups).
