Subject: RE: Mississauga Half Marathon : Official ThreadI did the full yesterday. You can run 100 marathons and will never have better conditions than that. What a day.
I thought the race itself was very well organized and professionally done. I wasn't crazy about the rigamarole of the start line, shuttle buses, etc. but that is a normal part of any big race. They did a pretty reasonable job with that stuff.
I thought the advertisements of the "beauty of Mississauga" were kind of funny (I lived there for 6 years ) but the course did run through some very nice areas and I forgot the lakefront is pretty nice.
Overall a great experience. My race was a bit of a mess, I decided to take some risks with the hope of a fantastic time, but my goal was too aggressive and I suffered though the last 15k. I am more sore today than after Ironman or other marathons. Oh well, I knew the risks and still managed a PB.
