  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The drink stations were very crowded. Someone here mentioned skipping the first tables and going to the later ones, but that didn't really seem to help. All the drink stations were behind on have filled cups. No cups were ready to go, and you had to wait for them to be poured. This probably added up to a fair amount of time.

  • Comments: a few comments on the race: 1.) packet pick up in dc is a nightmare. it took us 4 hours to get in, get our packets and get out. pain in the butt. next year, if we do it again, we should ride our bikes in for packet pick up. 2.) they give you the option of upgrading your free cotton tee shirt to a techinically one for a (not insignificant) fee. we did this and when i got there (2 hours before the end) they had already run out of the size i ordered. the woman said they allowed size switching. this pissed me off. if you have everyone pick a size, and if you have to pay for a certain size, there should be no switching unless there are extra. i will never wear a medium shirt. they are like pajamas on me. i put my name down to be mailed the correct size. we'll see if it ever comes. 3.) the course is incredibly packed. too packed. we went off in the red wave which was the 1st or 2nd wave and we were jammed. 75% of the racers started after us. i cannot imagine what they had to

  • Comments: The muffin and banana were just okay. For a race of that distance, I am used to a bit more food. I would have killed for an Ensure or something like that. They did give something like 97k to charity, so at least our money went to a good cause!
