  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The format of this race needs serious evaluation. Spending the last two miles of a half picking your way through people who are 8 abreast on the course walking a 10K is no fun!

  • Comments: A few issues getting the race started, but overall a great event. Expo is OK for marathon, but not nearly as extravagant as White Rock. However, food tent afterwards is great (even beer and ice cream!) Not as much live music on the course as last year, but aid stations were well staffed and plenty of cheering.

  • Comments: gender - 394th place - 2334 total men w/2:08:00 avg. 10k: 52:19 (8:25), 745 (overall) 10 Mile: 1:22:49 (8:17), 586 (overall) 13.1: 1:46:48 (8:09), 494 (overall) I like negative splits. Serious lack of bands/music on the 1/2 mary course. They didn't do a good job explaining the corral system for the starts. Also, the corrals were not well marked. Should have had tall signs up in the air for folks to line up behind. Putting up the rope just didn't work for the crowd which is used to a mass start. Announcer caused confusion, too, with mixed messages.

  • Comments: Finish activities area was not very well laid out. Especially in the area to get your finishers shirt. Course not marked as well as it could have been. Needed mile markers that could be easily seen. I missed them on at least 4 or 5 mile markers.

  • Comments: This was great fun... it was certainly a challenge and I'm sure I'm going to feel it tomorrow, BUT I loved it! I felt strong and capable, NOT a poser at all! I liked this distance, hope to do more of them, but not soon!
