I have nothing but praise for this race. This is by far the best 13.1 or 26.2 race I have done. The course was challenging. I underestimated the hills in the second half and my legs were jelly by mile 20. The expo was awesome, the swag was great. The heat was bad, but the aid and water stations adapted well. I was also glad to see the flag system being used. Seeing the flag change at an aide station let me know I had to change my hydration plan to take in more liquid. It was a great experience for both myself and my father who was there to watch.
