• Comments: I finished the race feeling a little down on myself. I felt that I had left something on the course and that I could have done better. I also felt that I may have failed myself mentally. After having to stop several times to stretch I let it become an excuse and it pulled me down for several miles. After going back through the race, I dont believe that is the case. I struggled with the hamstring tightness and still managed to get the last mile at a decent pace. What I thought was 10m pace didn't even make it into 9m pace. I am not sure yet if I have the mental toughness to make it through some of the endurance events, but I am definitely learning a lot about myself!

• Comments: We really enjoyed the race and were quite glad the weather held out though anyone on the course over 4:30 would've got wet. Hopefully they have some nicer weather next year. Real nice course with decent food and drinks afterwards. Would've stayed to enjoy things if the weather was a bit nicer. Saw some perfect reasons why headphones should be banned or the race needs to have folks on cycles in front of the leaders clearing the route. Due to being on a paved path with out and back, leaders of the half were coming back while at least two folks with head phones were spacing out and not hearing us yell at them to get out of the way. The two leaders that were together had to take action to go around Mr and Mrs space cadets. Kinda of wish they would've took turns running them over.

• Comments: Bad signage and lack of volunteer workers pre-race had me walking all over the place just to find out where to check in. Plenty of volunteers during the race but this is one where checking in the night before seems expected. Course was well marked but the final leg around campus was a bit frustrating as we were looped in and our of parking lots. Plenty of free food available post-race to refuel.
