  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This was a nice race. Lots of bands in the beginning and end, but middle section was a bit deserted. That's when I could have used the motivation the most. Plan on doing this again next year. My goals were: 1. Don't get picked up by the sweeper. 2. Don't go to the ER. Managed to meet both goals. Next year, we start shaving time off.

  • Comments: They did a very nice job. This is the 3rd year bringing it back and they do a lot of things well. I was really disappointed in the food choices at the finish area and no bottles of water/gatorade (really...how many runners are going to want just a glass of water post-race??)

  • Comments: I love this race. I'm so glad it is back. Even though I had a crap time, that's my own bloody fault. The volunteers were awesome, there were plenty of aid stations, the medics were great, our shirts and medals are bad ass. It's a very hilly and challenging urban course, but very scenic. I'm so disappointed in my time, over an hour slower than my first race, that yesterday I signed up for the Columbus Marathon to try again, and I think Pat will be joining me for his first marathon!
