Ran this race today in Chicago on a 65+ degree morning. The course was good, it snaked through Jackson Park before ending up on the Lakefront Trail for miles 4-13. It might have lacked some shade on this hot morning, and there were some ever-so-slight hills that were tough for tired legs.

Mile markers were off, according to my, and a friends Garmin watches. The worst part of the race was the finish line- I was expecting the finish line to be the same as the start line, so picked up the pace as I rounded the final corner- No finish line. The finish line had moved about .25 miles down the path. Made me really frustrated, as I was already not having a great race.

Medical and aid were great. Lots of aid stations, which was helpful, and I also had to stop at the med tent at the finish line and they were helpful in getting me up and feeling better.

I'd recommend this race, it was a nice course and a nice (but warm) day.
