Comments:

This is another one of those little races that could. The course is lovely, the volunteers do a great job and the weather was perfect.
I did the race last year and hope to do it again next.
I ran 8 miles and walked the last 5. This was on purpose as I am having my gallbladder removed Wed and I didn't want too much swelling for the surgery.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, it was a fun race and I was happy to be well enough to participate.
Post race
Warm down:

The post-race spread was awesome with water, gatorade, sodas, donuts, bagels, bananas, oranges, and catering from Macaroni Grill.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Myself, wisely stopped at 8 miles and walked the rest.

Event comments:

This race never disappoints and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cool half mary.

Performance: Good
Course: Excellent Course! The first part was along the beach with a view of the water. The middle section was through some nice neighborhoods. Next was the Pinella trail which is mostly nice, except we passed some house that looked like the one from "Sandford and Son" I sang the song for a while! The final portion was around a lake and into the park for the finish.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
