  • Comments: Post-race water was only available by the finish line. The "recovery area" had no water but plenty of other beverages that needed to be diluted to be consumed -- besides the choc. milk, cider & hot cocoa, that is. The recovery area was very crowded & I was one of the earlier finishers. ETA - results posted online could be better. Rankings are only based on the "gun start" of 7,309 runners. I had to download the data and sort it by chip times to get actual run time comparisons.

  • Comments: I had a lot of fun! Previous to this race the farthest I have ever run was 8 miles. I held back a lot - but I'm glad I did now I didn't get hurt and I have a basis for comparison and I know I can do the distance. Next time will be faster!

  • Comments: Next time, remember to pick a meet-up location for after the race. It is near impossible to find people in the stadium and it gets cold really quickly. I'm not sure if I want to do this race again next year. The hills at the end are REALLY tough.
