  • Comments: I am stoked about this race and my finish time. This was my first real comparison race. Same course, similar weather, just different me. Last year in my first ever half marathon I ran a 10:22 pace and over 2:15 for the race, I also had to walk several times in the last miles. This year it was a 7:34 pace, and over 35 minutes faster! To finish in the top 25 of a large field is awesome, and to do it with gas left in the tank has me wondering what's next? The only downside is I outran all the ladies, so there was no late race pick-me-up scenery ;)

  • Comments: Great event! This was my first time. I love that there are a lot of runners. Volunteers were great, shirt was great, challenging course, fun town in the middle with good cheering support. Crazy lines at the portapotties right before the race - had to pee on a tree! (and saw ladies squatting behind buildings lol). Food was decent. Would have liked more water at the end, and maybe some chocolate milk. Overall, I had a great time and would recommend this race!

  • Comments: This was my first half marathon. I thought it was organized very well. The food was fantastic the volunteers were great and very helpful/motivating. It was a challenging course but had a lot of variety--not boring at all. The food was great and plenty of it. I had a good time.

  • Comments: This is one of the few times were I can say I left NOTHING on the course. At mile 10 my calves started cramping-and I never get cramps-but I kept telling myself "You've never ran this hard before-this is probably normal". WOW! 1:44. I'm really proud of myself and I'm so glad that Betsy was there (16 years married and ex never came to single event). All my friends did well. I really like this race. I am SO stoked for next season. Post Script: Sunday 11/02-I feel soo bad. I ache in places I've never ached before. Have huge blisters on big toes that I didn't realize, my aching butt cheek is too sore to sit down and I have this sh#t-eating grin on my face. I am really happy in this life of mine right now! Thanks to all the BT family for advice and inspiration. I gotta go for a walk now, my butt is calling me.

  • Comments: Still a small operation. Good energy. Like every race I've done, not enough port-o-potties. Didn't affect me, but there was a line a mile long right before the race. Awards were exceptionally lame. Hurricane glasses?
