WHAT UP WITH THAT?...great t shirt though! and I have never in my life seen more volunteers at the water stations and everywhere in between!

  • Comments: The Rock 'n' Roll folks really know how to put on a race. Everything is crazy-well organized, especially considering how big it is. The bands are good, the crowd support is *excellent*, the volunteers are many and friendly and well-trained. No complaints here.

  • Comments: This year the corrals seemed spread out better or maybe I was starting in a better corral based on my ability. I wanted to beat last years time, 1:48:37...So I ran out pretty hard. I was able to keep that up until about mile 6 or 7...but instead of really slipping to a comfortable pace, I just kept pushing. My last few miles were definitely slower than the first, but they weren't that much slower...So I took over 2 min off my time...a PR!!!! I love this race and the eye candy never ever disappoints.
