  • Comments: This was my first event in the 50-54 AG (birthday was Friday). My only previous HM was Disneyland in 2008 at 2:53, so this was a PR by almost 15 minutes. Although crowded, the event was very well run. The course was very scenic, and I really enjoyed the day.

  • Comments: This is a very well organized race. Plenty of volunteers and water stations, plenty of refreshments at the finish. And the souvenir shirt is nice. The 2 mile walk** back to the car is a bit of a pain, but that's more my fault for getting there late. ** I know it was really 1.5 miles, but after running 13 miles it felt like a full 2 miles

  • Comments: Even though I cramped at mile 11 and missed my goal of a sub 2 hour half marathon, I cut 0:13:34 off of last years time. I will be happy if I can replicate this time at Ironman California 70.3 in March.

  • Comments: This is a very well managed race. However, this year they had wave starts instead of a mass start and I don't think that was an improvement. I didn't go to the post-race festivities, so I can't comment.

  • Comments: This is always a great race.. lots and lots of runners and the volunteers were great.. lots of newbies in the race... you can just tell..The 13.1 was a sell-out and it was so crowded... wasn't until about mile 10 could you start to get a break in traffic to pick up your speed.. the only way to combat that, is definitely start in the first couple of waves next year. we were all worried about the weather as it rained most of Saturday... The bright sunshine was a welcome sight.. very little wind.. Just a great day for a race... I enjoyed this for a training day for LA.. Didn't want to get too crazy aswe have a (43) mile week that brings a 20 mile run next Sunday.. If anyone wants a fun, pretty flat 13.1 that's local, Surf City is the way to go..
