  • Comments: A good run on a beautiful day. The race was pretty well run, well marked, and the people were nice, But this race left a few things to be desired: 1) The lack of porta potties was a joke. (The line for the ladies room was at least 30 people long). They didn't have enough along the route (maybe 5 or 6 for the entire course. Plus - there was no food at any one of the stations (luckily I had brought 2 gus just in case) and the small cups of gatorade were childlike. 3) The finisher "medal" turned out to be a pair of gloves on a lanyard. I'll use the gloves - but... I would do the race again... but it wasn't the "best" race of the year.

  • Comments: This was my first half so I don't have much basis for comparison but it seemed very well organized and was a nice course. The only criticism I have was for the cop who held us up for 30+ seconds to let traffic cross at mile 7-8.

  • Comments: Well, 8 months ago, my brother-in-law said you should sign up for the Beach to Beacon race in Cape Elizabeth, ME a 10K. I hadn't run since High School, now 36, so I took on the challenge. I started a run/walk program on April 1 of this year. It was a 4 month program, that lead up to the 10K race on August 1st. I just really got the running bug, and didn't want to stop there, so I signed up for the Chilly half marathon. Never in my wildest dreams did I see myself running 13.1 miles when I started running in April. I choose to do Hal Higdons 12 week novice half marathon training program. It really worked for me. It was a long and tough 12 weeks for me, but I'm so pleased and proud of myself for sticking to it. So now I've run my first half marathon, and could not be happier, except I'm so sore! I'm glad it's over, but I'm so glad I did it, and I can't wait to do more challenging events next year.
