  • Comments: My only previous IM event was in Raleigh. This felt very different. The Raleigh race had the expo in the convention center and a big downtown finish (and charter buses to bring you to the point-to-point start). This felt much more like a local event with tons of people. The expo etc was in a hot tent, the grounds were very muddy (everyone's running shoes were kinda swampy from part of the run in soaked grass). It was a good course, but on the whole it didn't have the same big-ticket feel that the IM Raleigh had. With this one, I kind of wondered where all of the registration money went. Also, why does IM run out of t-shirts.
