  • 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.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • 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.
