This was my first marathon ever and while I can say nothing but great things about the race organization, this race was torture. Don't get me wrong. It was an awesome 7" medal and such great course support with an amazing expo, but Mother Nature did not want me finishing the race that day. Let's just say the race was awesome, but the winter storm that came in around mile 18 was not.
