  • Comments: A few of the water stations were short, and a few others didn't have gatorade but overall I managed. My co-runner bailed at 24km and ended up walking in a 5 hr, and my other buddy who was shooting for sub 4 crashed in a 5:30 and ended up with 2 IVs in the med tent. So I can't complain at all.

  • Comments: I give it a low rating. Everyone is cool, and well organized and it is great. But the course sucks. It sucks so hard. It goes this way and that, you can hardly see 500 meters ahead of you at any time. If it is close to you do it. But don't travel to this race.

  • Comments: First time for the race. Good. Venue was a little crowded and the RD took some heat for it. But the Venue is a great one, just too many racers in the 10k 5k kids race and HM. All finishing at different times. I am glad I didn't finish 30 min later I would have finished with all the 10kers, and that would have bit. The only thing that really grated on me was the gels, why weren't they were they were supposed to be.

  • Comments: I only give it a 4 because of the lack of pizza. Not sure if that is fair. Real good race.

  • Comments: If I do another marathon I think I'll attempt to BQ on a faster course. I have no doubt I could have knocked anther 5 mins off my time, as well as a couple minutes for the course hills. So it's within reach with some hard work.
