  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Great food tent, but the lines were so long by the time I finished, I had to skip it. Volunteers were awesome and everyone is so very encouraging. Hardest part was getting out of the parking garage and off of Clearwater Bech when it was all over. Heck, in the end, I even made peace with the banana. Pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dineen/sets/72157623826627016/ Postscript: Dan, a.k.a. "the banana" and I have truly made peace, between our discussions on this thread and offline. He also gave me a fabulous pep talk, the conclusion of which deserves a more public airing. So, with his permission: "It will get easier, but do not let anyone passing you (even a banana) get you down. Everyone starts somewhere its the fact that you are doing it that counts. Even the best runners were once novices." I hope anyone reading this and considering their first 15K race will take this advice! I hope to see Dan out there again next year.
