  • Comments: Good race overall. Plenty of aid stations, although I don't really think there were quite as many bands playing on the course as advertised. Not a big deal though. Race started right on time, and the finish chute and area was very well organized. Would have liked better food, but I know that's tough to provide at race this size.

  • Comments: Austin is awesome with soooo many good-looking women. ATX came over and gave us some eye candy. Thanks ATX for that. Had I run a bit faster she swears she would've shown me her boobs. I am going to train like a CHAMP for next year!!!

  • Comments: The expo wasn't as good as Houston, and I liked the wave/separate start locations at Houston better. This wasn't bad at all, the clothe check was great, volunteers were great along the course, and I enjoyed the course scenery. Of course, the weather was perfect for me, and having had an awesome day...this race is AWESOME. And if I live in Austin someday, it's one that I'll do the half or full in several times again! I'm a little partial to it right now I think! :)

  • Comments: I didn't stick around for the marathon activities, but they looked decent. The free food selection was pretty limited, though the chicken noodle soup was a nice touch. Still, it's a well run race with lots of volunteers and a fairly pretty course that winds through a variety of Austin neighborhoods. 10th largest marathon in the country now, apparently.
