• Comments: the only thing sad is the fact that, even if they asked my t-shirt size when i registered wich is large or Xlarge back in feb. they had only small and med when i came to get my race bag. they ran out of shirts a full day before the race and would not accomodate me with a men's t-shirt. this is very disapointing for (slow) runner like me. I am waiting for an answer to the e-mail i sent to tell them how disapointed i was not to be able to proudly display my accomplishement at the gym.

• Comments: Everything was just pitch-perfectly organized. It was such a huge event but nothing took a long time, not even the woman's bathroom lines. I would really like to see water stations at every 1km, perhaps not as big as the one's at every 3km's. There were sprinklers and sponges soaked in water at key points, too. So many people were cheering and encouraging us on. The tshirt they gave us is high quality, we were able to get our medals engraved with our name and time. One of the best races I've ever gone to.
