  • Comments: Jerry and Amy do a fantastic job with this event. It's so much more than a race...an entire sportsfest weekend with good expo, 8K on Saturday, half and full marathon on Sunday, concerts, beer, irish stew all in a big tent on the beach at the end. I've got nothing to complain about other than the wind later in the day but I guess they can't plan everything :)

  • Comments: It was great to do something I never had before. I had to push myself and I love that. The older I get and the more races I do, I am convinced I am an endurance athlete. I can keep the same pace whether I am doing a 5k or running 13 miles. I also loved doing the race with Doug. He helped so much with my training, running advice, and keeping me smiling. I can't wait to do another one!

  • Comments: nice, flat course, great freebies, beautiful medal, great post-race activities... bads? poor expo, low crowd support for the half marathon (although it was an unsually cold day..so this might not always be so), and the course is not very scenic (it gets nice n pretty towards the very very end...last mile)

  • Comments: The race was great, very well organized, plenty of volunteers. The water stopped were perfectly timed for me, spread out just far enough but not too far. I was happy with my decision not to carry hydration with me because what they had on the course worked perfectly.

  • Comments: Thanks to the "Pit Crew"! It was great having people cheering at the finish. We all met for dinner on saturday night and then again for the breakfast buffet after I finished. It was a great weekend!!!

  • Comments: Everyone should do this race ... it was very well run, the volunteers made this race great, the support of the small crowds was cool ... the post-race party was GREAT ... tents on the beach, lots of beer and food, few lines, and the tent was so huge that we weren't all crowded in. Good bands at the post-race party too. What a fun time!

  • Comments: VERY Well put together race! Other than the "issue" I had at packet pickup with them not having me on the list, it went well. My recommendation, if you send in a paper application, print out your participant list name off the web and a copy of your cancelled check. I felt like I was "being judged" and they were doing me a favor letting me race. I was not a happy camper! But the race as a whole...very well done. Kudos.

  • Comments: I really had a ball. I'll definitely do this again next year. Hell, maybe the full marathon, never say never. And I love it that I continue to meet excellent BT people and that none of them are felon perverts, as my friends and family keep warning me. :) Perverts, perhaps and maybe felons, but not both. Hah! Seriously, though-- because of this training and these sports, I've met great people I wouldn't have otherwise, both on BT and in real life. They're a lot of fun and I learn a lot from them. I'm grateful for that. Thanks, ya'll!

  • Comments: An incredibly well supported race - the water stops were all perfectly placed, and the "surprise" water stop at 12.5 was so SO wonderful.

  • Comments: Jerry and Amy put on a great race! Everyone got nice technical shirts and running hats plus a nice finisher medal. There was lots of food and beer at the finish party and they had a huge tent set up on the beach. The temp was perfect for racing but too cold for post-race festivities...but the tent covered that.

  • Comments: Wind took alot out of me both mentally and physically. Even though had a tailwind for last half, couldn't make up what I lost during first half. Should have had more water too. Feet got numb around mile 8 and felt like blocks of ice.
