This net-downhill race isn't as easy as I heard it would be, but it did help me land a new half marathon PR. The expo was fun and well organized, and the race swag is awesome (lots of cool goodies from 3M). The porta potty lines at the start were a complete mess, but otherwise the race was well organized. You line up with your pace vs. in a corral, so it's a self-managed start. I ran with a pace group for the first time and didn't feel crowded in by a pack of runners. The end of the race is energized, which really helped me push through the final miles. The medal is also one of the coolest I own.
