  • Comments: The second drink station was caught unprepared because Denver hadn't turned on the water, but it was a long way 'til the next one. I was grateful I'd brought some of my own hydration!

  • Comments: The only hiccup about the race was running out of water at the mile 4 water station. That was also the place where I took in my first gel just before getting the news there is no water. Otherwise it was a good run.

  • Comments: Overall, I felt like this race was poorly organized. I got to run as a 32 year old male named Damien, due to some sort of computer mix-up. The race packet pickup was unnecessarily difficult (couldn't they email us our bib numbers earlier so we could avoid waiting in 3 lines?). I was also disappointed that there wasn't a vegetarian option for postrace food; I can't be the only vegetarian runner, can I? I did appreciate the fact that there were frequent aid stations, even if I couldn't get to them for the first part of the race, and the mile markers seemed well planned.

  • Comments: Based on the general effort it took to pick-up my race packet, it could have been a LOT better. The expo was weak and I already mentioned the post race food.

  • Comments: Finished top 36% of all runners Finished top 25% of all women Finished top 33% of my AG Gotta keep reminding myself that it was just last fall that I ran 10 miles for the first time in 20 years. I should be happy with this result in spite of not qualifying for Boston.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I'm happy with my over-all run. It could have been much worse. I think that the course was very difficult. It makes Boston look easy... It is probably the second hardest marathon course that I have run. I did not enjoy it and unless signifcant changes are made to the course I will not run it again even though it is in my home town. Boo.

  • Comments: Overall I am not too disappointed. Lots of people were bonking and fading worse than me, fit people too. I am glad I didn't have to walk (I was pretty close). I would have liked to run faster but with my training, the course profile, and the conditions, I don't think I could have done much better. I will try to train better for NYC.
