  • Comments: No matter what I still love this race! Cleveland is a great city and this is an awesome way to experience it. Also, the medal is bad-ass and it is super impressive to be out running with 20,000 others.

  • Comments: I was completely unprepared for this. Due to injury, I just started running again a month ago. When I got injured, my longest run was 6 miles and it wasn't with any real frequency.

I met neither goal, but I'm not terribly disappointed.

  • Comments: THIS IS A LETTER I SENT THE RACE DIRECTOR Dear Sir or Madame: Let me start by saying I love the city of Cleveland and the people were as nice as anywhere in the world.

That being said, I could have overcome the weak marathon numbers in the marathon and expo in an abandoned Kmart. The final straw was the complete failure to have the proper finish. I have run many races at multiple distances and 2 other marathons. I cannot believe the lack of planning. I ran 26.2 miles in fog, rain, wind, and cold. I was expecting a proper finishing area. It was severely lacking. I could not believe that there was not a Mylar blanket. I am sure you knew the weather conditions. It was 50 degrees and raining. I proceeded to walk shivering to the massage tent. They were packing up. I could not
