  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?No

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Overall this was good event and I would do it again. The logistics for both packet pickup and parking were very good. The organizers could do a few things to improve it -- get the parked cars off the streets, have a family meet up area, have longer water station (hard to get over in time to get them) or more warning about them, better signage (food this way, bags that way) -- but that is just nit picking. Nice medal. Nice event shirt. I'm a happy camper. Also, I hate it when they have women's results and men's results but not overall results.

  • Comments: The event was pretty well organized, considering it was a first year event. The drink stations were too far apart early and too close late in the race. The second half of the course was surprisingly hilly. the mile markers were spot on.

  • Comments: They ran out of Gu at mile 8, which affected my wife who finished about 45 minutes behind me. Fortunately, I advised her to always carry one extra with her, so she was okay, but that was not part of the plan. This was my wife's first half-mary as well, and her longest race prior to this had been a 5k. Her longest run in training was 10 miles. I am SOOOO proud of her! After I finished, I went over and bought two 13.1 decals. When she was running from the final mile marker, I jumped the ropes and ran in with her, dangling the decal in front of her. She got a kick out of that, then turned on a sprint that I could not match! Update 11/5/07: I got moved up a position in my age group from 13th to 12th! Woo-hoo!
