• Comments: My first 1/2 Marathon. Did my first 4 Sprint Triathlons over the summer and did two 5K races. Figured I was in good enough shape (from Tri training) to do a 1/2 Marathon. I figured correctly. Maybe will do the full 26.2 next year. My opinion is that the training for sprint triathlons is pretty good prep for a 1/2 Marathon.

• Comments: Good race overall. The start was slightly delayed, but I think it was because they were waiting on one of the wheelchair participants to get situated. This event is continuing to grow. It went from 8,000 overall participants last year to 10,000 this year. Great volunteers. Well organized. I would like to see greater community involvement/awareness of this event. As I mentioned earlier, it got lonely out there in the far corners of the race course. Of course, I was at the Chicago marathon last week so perhaps my perspective is a little skewed.
