• Overall course based on my ability:


• Comments: Happy with my performance, but I over-estimated my ability. Swag bag was the worst I've ever gotten - they could have saved the bag and just handed out t-shirts. Post-race was so-so, but they had more food than most and they served cold beer (1st 2 free and cheap after that). The problem, and this is endemic to every race I've been to is that they serve crap. And an endurance "athlete", or athlete wannabe, I'm usually consciencous about what I put in my body. What do you get at races? Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, brownies, etc.. Saturated fat, nutritionally void carbs, and sugar. I don't get it. The post race was so-so from an organization standpoint, but I enjoyed getting together with Dave, Todd, and Jeremy (grandson of church member, who we met at finish line - nobody knew he was racing) and rehashing the race and other BS. I also liked having a close-to-home race. I'll do it again, but hope they can improve over the years.
