  • Comments: The race was a lot of fun and a great family vacation. It was the first half for my husband and son who are not runners or triathletes. They did very well considering they'd never done anything like this before. My son (a swimmer) almost beat me and he'd never done ANY running before February and was suffering with a horrible case of shin splints. My husband said this was going to be his first and last 1/2 marathon. Now, he's ready to sign us up for the race in 2008! I'm disappointed because I had felt good leading up to the race and really thought I could make my goal time of 1:44. I was hurting post race, which has impacted my training schedule this week. No injuries, just extreme body aches, fatigue, and little nausea. I've never been that dehydrated. My heart rate monitor showed the temperature at 80F when the race started at 6:00. an avg. of 85F and a max of 92F (and I finished about 8:00 A.M.) It was over 95F when my husband finished around 9:00.

  • Comments: Definately organized better than last year (inaugural). Better traffic direction for the Expo and free Expo parking. Expo better than last year and very good for a half but okay for a race of this magnitude and stature. Pre-race accomidations okay with free water but no food at all. Last year they had the nerve to sell food like sausages, bacon...whatever. On-course support was excellent. The boys and girls scouts cheering at Angels stadium were awesome. Cheer squads, marching bands, Mexixcan dancers, and Hawaiian dancers were also great. Post race accomidations was good and horrible. Once you finished you got all the water, Powerade, bagels and fruit you could carry (I stayed under the canopy to refuel with oranges.) But once you picked up your bag, you were not allowed back to the refreshment areas and there was nothing in the family reunion area not even water! So our loving, supporting family and friends couldn't even get water to help endure the heat. You'd think with

  • Comments: Fun race, but the heat was brutal. Was hoping to run a sub 10 min/mile pace, but dismissed that from the beginning because of the weather.
