  • Comments: My Garmin had me at a 8:56 pace instead of 9:02 official result. It showed 10.11 miles and 1:30. I had a goal of 1:40 so coming in at 1:30 if fine by me. Also, thanks to DocSwim and Newleaf for giving me rides today.

  • Comments: I was very impressed with the organization and execution of this race. The pre-race communications were also very well done, and logistics were clearly described in both the e-mails and website. The only thing that was a minor hassle was the post-race bag check- seems like that could have been organized a little better. And the t-shirt is going immediately to the rag pile (though I didn't pay for the upgraded tech shirt). Definitely will do this one again.

  • Comments: Expo was too crowded, and there weren't enough porta-potties and the water/food was way too far away at the end. BUT those are minor complaints - I loved the course, and it was literally the PERFECT day for a race!

  • Comments: Overall I really liked this race, weather was great and a bunch of friends/family came and ran it too which was cool. I think I really hindered my ability by starting so far behind which I can only blame myself for.

  • Comments: this was a really fun race. i would definitely do it again. what a nice way to ring in spring. there were NOT enough bathrooms, and the post race food was not in a good location. the whole post race scene was way too far spread out. otherwise, great event.

  • Comments: Overall, still a fun race - a bit crowded, though. I guess I didn't notice last year, since I was pretty slow. I am happy with this run - paced it consistently given the crowd, and met my goal time. I need to add though, that compared to my time last year, I was over 10 minutes faster, and dropped my pace by over a minute per mile. So I am pleased :)

  • Comments: Volunteers were nice and sure that the rain kept more spectators away. Actually, that part was nice because the trains and Metro were a lot less crowded on the way home.

  • Comments: I tend to shy away from big races but the corral system worked well in my case. The weather was ideal for racing and thankfully the rain stayed away for the most part. I would run this race again next year.

  • Comments: The route was lovely, despite the range, and the volunteers and spectators were very pleasant. The place is CROWDED though, really crowded. Wish "the Awakening" hadn't gotten sold before the race... Mile markers and clocks at every mile were a nice motivational tool.

  • Comments: Enjoyed it a lot. First time doing a big race, and really enjoyed it. Wish I could have seen the elites zoom by, but having to hit Haine point first meant they were done:)

  • Comments: I was expecting a better performance today... but after taking everything in, I'm glad I hung in there and gutted out that last mile and met my goal. I made my goal. That's always a good thing. Gio and I chatted all the way back on our cold METRO ride. After a warm shower and some reflection time, I feel great and almost anxious to get out and train tomorrow! Had a tough run that was made so much better by my friends that were there with me. Bring on the next race!!!
