  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

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

  • Comments: Live in town so I will not say I won't do this race again, but the double loop on the second half of the marathon is not fun to me. Would rather so another out and back or a longer out and back overall. Half marathon is great course though and will do it definitely.

  • Comments: The race was really good. No expo, but packet pick-up was easy. Race was on time. Lots of water stops. No GU on the course, even though they advertisedit as being there at 3 stops. Hilly course. Great weather, great city.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The course is challenging. It is hard. I should have picked a flat one, but I knew what I was getting into. The aid stations were great. I had my own fuel, but they had plenty of water, gatorade, and later in the race Gu. The folks were cheerful and helpful, even for the BOP. The post-race food was disappointing, but I assume that is because I was BOP, which sucks. But I wasn't that hungry, so whatever. I should have run a more populated race, because then I wouldn't have been so BOP and alone. Also, I would have liked more spectators, more spontaneous stuff like oranges and beer on the course, etc. This is a great race to test whether I could do an ultra - because the potties were not available on the course and I was running with myself and couldn't even see anyone half the time. Thoughts 1 day post-race...strengthen and rehab the knee and come back strong this fall. Let's see what I can do.
