• Comments: The music at various stages of the race was very uplifting! The spectators were great and the weather wasn't as bad as it had been during the week prior. The wind sucked at certain stages, but it was bearable. I wish I was smaller and could have hidden behind a few folks to keep the chill off me.

• Comments: My only issue with the race was the post race food spread. We didn't have a lot of choices on what to eat and they gave us a banana and an orange in a bag. Some other family members ran the marathon and by the time they finished - around 4:30-5:30... the food was just about all gone. My poor mom running her first mary got jipped for post race nutrition.
