I was a little later to the race than I would have liked to have been. Thankfully I am a CARA member and was able to use their gear check at Congress hotel and the bathrooms there, which was key.

I was just getting over a bad cold, so the weather didn't help, but I still really enjoyed it. Even with a slight lack of training.

I loved the seeded start corrals, I just need to remember to submit a time for next year!
Course was great, I'm in sales so for me it was cool to run around the loop and see the city in a different light besides the day in and day out business atmosphere.

Post race area was decent. I mainly went to get stretched out. I always think they need more of those.
I liked the simplicity of the t-shirt, but like a lot of people I wish it had the year.

I don't mind the expo being at Navy Pier. I always spend more time than necessary at the expo.
