  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I love the race, love the weather, love the crowd, HATE the finish area and how difficult it is for spectators. I am not sure what they can do to fix it, but it is not an easy race for spectators unfamiliar with the area to navigate and plan to be at.

  • Comments: 3399 out of 3712 (Men) It was really cool to run my first marathon with my wife. I'm not sure we'd imagined we'd ever do this. She was pretty emotional after finishing and I was incredibly proud of her!

  • Comments: I was a bit apprehensive going into the event. I had been nursing sore quads for the past month. I also had not done a training run longer than 16 miles, but I did log quite a few 13-15 mile runs. I also mixed in cross-training, as to not fatigue my quads, giving them a chance to heal up before the marathon. I also did a fair amount of rolling and icing every night for the 2 weeks leading up to the race. I thinks all of that helped me complete the run without any major issues. I did not set a finish time, I just wanted to finish. In fact, I was ready to jump into the half marathon course if I felt my quads acting up. Once I passed the Marathon/Half Marathon split, it was the point of no return!
