• Comments: I liked this race a lot and would go back next year. The only thing holding it back from a 5 is that they had Powerade on the course and I didn't think they had it at enough stations to deal with the record breaking heat. Other than that it was a very well run race, everything was on time, great course, they limited it to 12,000 total runners for both the half and full so it wasn't crowded after the first couple of miles. I had a great time.

• Comments: There were people cheering for almost the entire coarse. It was well organized. There was plenty of support and music and Elvis, Colonel Sanders, and Satan impersonators to keep things interesting. One cannot predict Kentucky weather in May. Last year it was 45 and rainy for the race. This was my first run only race of any kind. Although not achieving the time for which I had hoped: 2 hours, I did finish at the time I most expected almost to the second. It was a good experience for my first half mary. I have learned a lot and look forward to my next race.
