  • Comments: My first half marathon. My Garmin read 13.46. Maybe it is off or I did some extra zig zagging to get through the crowds.

  • Comments: I was on corral 10 and it took almost 30 minutes for us to get to the start line. I felt a little sorry for those at the back of Corral 13, as they probably lost 45 minutes of the four hours just waiting to start. There were not enough aid stations out there, and only one at mile 9 had any nutrition. Frankly, the bands weren't that great and it seemed that there were not very many of them.

  • Comments: Originally I balked at the price and I was a little nervous with this being the inaugraul race but it was worth it. Lots of water stations, tons of race support/volunteers plenty of post race food/drinks and nice goodie bag/freebies at expo. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed myself. I want to do this race again next year, PR of course :)

  • Comments: I would have to say that there only seemed to be water stations every two-three miles. It would be nice to have them every mile. Also, there was only nutrition at mile 9. I brought three Gu's with me, but would have been nice to just grab them on the course. Other than that, the race was great. The course is nice having the uphill at the first half, sets you up nice to negative split. Great race for the 1st year... Oh, would be great to have a full Mary as well....
