Comments: Great HM. LOTS of police presence on the course and great support from the local towns (live band on the course). Great test-the-legs race for the upcoming season. Would definitely do this one again in the future.
Comments: It's hard to tell really how good this race was because I wasn't around for most post-race activities - I was still running!! But there were 6 drink stations, which I found to be plenty, Gu at mile 8, and Gu20 at all but the first, water at all, obviously. They also had a band along the way, which I enjoyed. I sort of blame them for this portion where I ran too fast and probably depleted my abilities for the 2nd half of the race :).
One nice thing was that they had some showers and a large locker room if you wanted for after the race. I could have had it all to myself since I was like, 522nd place out of 537, but I didn't shower there. But the facility was pretty nice - though it was kinda strange, they had NO bathrooms along the route. Which is fine for ME personally, I never go during a race (lucky me!), but for people who tend to have GI problems maybe this isn't your race.
I probably won't do this race again because it was so darn hilly and the field is pretty fast, it seems,
