Comments: Pretty good race overall. I didn't like that the pacers were hard to find. I think I only saw the 4:10 pacer on the course, but only because she was leaving Cherokee Park as I was coming in and was crossing the bridge from IN to KY as I was going the other way.
The water stations had plastic water bottles or cups, which I thought was a little dangerous when people would just throw them on the ground. Paper cups would have been better, though I did like having the option of grabbing a water bottle to take with me as I ran in case I needed to drink before I got to the next station.
I think the hills beat me pretty badly, but I'm not that sore 2 days after the race (and this is my first marathon; I thought I'd be sore for a week) so I'm wondering if the hardness of the course was more in my head than physical. So I'm rating it "just right" since I like a challenge, and apparently just running 26.2 on a flat course isn't enough of a challenge for me ;-)
