Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: I really enjoy this race.. it's my 4th time doing it, and I plan to come back next year as well. This year they topped 30,000 runners and it made a difference on the course -- definitely more crowded. But with the wave start, I felt like I had enough room to run; only a few times did I feel like I was slowing down because I had to weave around people. The bands along the way are great and the crowd support increases every year as well. If nothing else, I love the fact that this race is Saturday morning so you can go out and enjoy downtown Nashville on Saturday night! Nashville is such a fun town.

Comments: The actual race would be great if you live in Nashville and you had the chance to pick your number up on Thursday. It was too much of a pain with traffic and crowds of people trying to go the same place you were going. The race would have been awesome if there were about 15,000 less people. I will say this, it's worth doing at least once.

Comments: This is my favorite race to do. The course is challenging, but it's very pretty, the spectators, bands, cheerleaders, and volunteers are great and the weather is usually very nice. I have done this event for the past 3 years and would easily do it every year if my schedule allows it. There is a huge Team In Training presence at this race and lots of camraderie. This year the Team In Traing Tent had barbecue and all the fixings and it was great! I also think this race is well oraganized and I love the free massage offered before the race to help loosen you up and calm down your nerves.

Comments: Need more bathrooms at the start! Shouldn't have to wait 45 minutes to pee before a race. HOWEVER...I really enjoyed the race and plan to do it again in the future! Did I mention that I beat Eddie George by 6 minutes? Ha!
