  • Comments: Outstanding organization, beautiful but challenging course, tons of volunteers, superb and abundant aid stations...everything was outstanding. There were more than enough aid statons, which had water, Cytomax, gels, Snickers, bananas & more, and seemed to be just right in their placings. I really wanted to break 2 hours, but to do that on this course was going to take a good run. The course itself is really challenging, with two huge climbs in the last three miles. Overall I'm really happy with my accomplishment, and I think that I quite enjoy doing 1/2 marathins. Oh yeah...and I love having mile markers rather than km markers - miles flew by, and it just seemed nicer that the numbers only went up to 13 rather than 21.
