  • Comments: Hats off to Midwest for making some good adjustments to course to deal with construction. Aid stations seemed well manned and stocked. My running has made some huge leaps in the last year and so has my attitude. I now expect to PR. It was nice to stick to the plan and get the desired results. The flat course and cool temps also helped for sure. This was a very satisfying race, but it was just a step to the big prize of the year: Lakefront marathon. This race did give me a boost that I just might be able to hit my goals for that race.

  • Comments: I had never done the original/normal Lake Country race so I don't really have anything to compare it to. The only real negative that I saw was having us run on the boardwalk where they also put a water station. People throwing down their cups right along the lake isn't a good idea. In addition it also created a nice wooden version of the slip 'n' slide that could catapult you into Lake Fowler. I cautiously ran over that area and hopefully others did the same without injury. Overall this race was well organized and well run with plenty of nice volunteers who did a great job. I am glad I ran it and perhaps will do it again next year.
