• Comments: The race itself wasn't bad. I wasn't too happy about getting to one of the offsite parking spots and then it was full - but the person directing the traffic had no clue how to get to the other parking lots. The course was ok - it was accurate (my garmin showed an extra 0.07 miles which I can easily attribute to not running tangents carefully) but there were some sections that were pretty muddy and slippery because of the previous night's rain storm. My biggest disappointment was the lack of fanfare at the finish. Considering this was a big race - you'd think there would be an announcer and music to liven up the mood. The band on course was pretty cool though. Afterwards, the live band entertainment and the food was great. Had some pasta, cookies, yogurt, and an apple. They ran out of pizza pretty quick though.

• Comments: This is my 3rd time doing this race and it is consistently well done. Shuttle busses from remote parking lots work really well to minimize traffic. Like the setting, and the shirts are the BEST! Enough water stations (not that I used them), and post race music and food is plentiful and good. Parts of the course are a bit narrow, but not much can be done about that.
