Guy Collins's thoughts:

I have created a running website named www.askrunguy.com based on having run over 100 half marathons, including all fifty US states and several other countries; and several full marathons, with a goal of running all six World Major marathons. Below is a template for comments for my rating each race:

Race: Austin Half Marathon 2011 Austin TX
Race Type / Terrain (road, trail): paved roads around Austin TX
Organization (Expo, volunteers, start / finish): pretty good expo, but was far from hotels.
Support (fans, music on course): good support on the course. Lots of fans, music, etc .
Course Scenery: Not great. Just normal views of Austin
Course Difficulty: somewhat challenging. Pretty hilly and warm.
Weather / Temperature: Pretty warm, even in Feb
Course location recreation (sights, things to do): many things to do and places to view around Austin
Logistics (Getting to the race site): Easy travel to Austin via airport
Swag (medal, t-shirt, other items for finishers): t-shirt and medal were nice. At this point they had a Lance Armstrong Live Strong theme.
Food and drink (on course and after finish): Food and drink on course is fine, and refreshments provided afterward are above average.
I provide running and racing resources for all levels of runners at www.askrunguy.com. I also share information that I believe is interesting and helpful to the running community. I encourage you to visit www.askrunguy.com
