No crab cake you get in Morgantown will beat Faidley's at Lexington Market or the Olive Grove in Linthicum. I'll second the Wings Ole recommendation. Two tacos and a half dozen wings from there will probably sit heavy on my belly on my way back to Maryland on Sunday. 

I did the half but I thought I'd chime in.  It was brutal!!!  I drove the course the night before and really got freaked out.  I did my first loop and thought it was ok.  REALLY REALLY hard, but do-able.  The second loop was horrible.  At mile 44 I was done.  I just wanted to get off my bike.  I stayed on and made it through.  I was happy for the flat run course.  Although I didn't run as much as I would have liked.

All in all, a great race and a great day.   I ended up eating at the hotel Saturday night and went to the Brewery for some Pizza Sunday night.

Well done Christy.  I specifically remember thinking to myself near the end of my bike course how glad I was that I didn't have a second loop.  Good for you for sticking with it! 

My family and I grabbed pizza at the Brewery afterward as well.  Yum!

Once (well, twice) around that bike course was enough for me.  Plus I moved across the country.  So, I'm out. 

Good luck to everyone doing it!

I stayed at the Waterfront last year.  It was a quick walk to the start and a nice hotel.

Good luck!

Glad you "enjoyed" the hills-long story short- No we dont ride the trail.
