  • Comments: water cups are a lot smaller than what I am used to. Volunteers seemed surprised that I wanted 2. Also thrown when I wanted both water and gatorade. But the volunteers were great and I really appreciate all their help!

  • Comments: The course and volunteers were great. They had a Coast Guard helicopter fly over at the start and that was pretty cool. Along the way we saw a guy named Larry, part of the 50 state club. He had done 105 marathons LAST YEAR! Amazing as he was an older guy - late 50s maybe early 60s. He chatted with us for a while then left us in the dust - hahaha. He reminded me of Ironman legend Frank Farrar (except Larry actually made conversation; Frank's the silent type). It was so much fun to run the race with Rob. We chatted a lot and joked quite a bit. It went by so fast. They had aid stations every 2 miles and that seemed to be good enough for a race like this. This was my first race since Disney about 2 years ago and it was fun to get back in to a race environment. The people (organizers, volunteers, and racers) are great - a lot of real characters. Several of the back of the pack racers dressed up and that is always fun.
