Comments:

This was the hardest course I've run yet. Constant long, steep up and downhills. From mile 20-21, I walked for 28 min straight up a hill and NOONE passed me. Everyone was walking. It was a brutal course. Some areas were very pretty running along the Pacific Coast Trail overlooking the ocean, most of it was quite dull, atually.

What would you do differently?:

nothin

Event comments:

This was very well done, just a bitch of a hard course. Train for endless hills and you'll be OK. I wasn;t trying to set any records today, so I jsut took it easy, but it was a tough, tough course.
