Packet Pick Up: can be done a few days leading up to the race. Also have race day pick up which is a plus for out of town-ers. Can't comment on the 'expo' or if there was much of one. Race day pick up was slow and only a few people for a whole long line of us waiting.

The race: Hot and humid with overcast today. Combo of flatness and hills. Scenery was meh, some in downtown, most along the river. Downside was that water stops were so inconsistent. Were every 2 miles, some were after a mile or so. With how hot and humid it was, it would have been better to have something with more consistency. Started/ended by Reds Stadium/ Public Landing. limited crowd support

Swag: could choose a shirt or not. I either didn't order one or they ran out. Saw the design, wasn't a fan. medal was ok, didn't et much else though

For out of towers: Stayed at the Millennium hotel and it was further than I thought from the start (a good 3/4 mile at least of a walk to the start). Wasn't the best hotel, but it was a bed.

Not sure if I'd go back for this race or not. I think it has some things to work on for sure, especially for one over the summer
