Overall, this was a great marathon experience, and it was my attempt for a BQ this year. I trained really well and went all out during the winter putting in roughly 100miles/week and felt great going in. However, we had an unfortunate weather condition on race day and it happened to be really HOT and that was unexpected for an April marathon.

It's nothing we can do, and the race itself was very well organized and the weather aspect was communicated and enough warnings were given prior to coming at the start line. Because of the weather conditions, I didn't get my BQ, but I still got a PR by 14mins and 7seconds! It was a win!

Overall, a very well organized event, and had no complaints about the race at all. Coming from Michigan to do the race, it was very straightforward and I highly recommend this race if you're looking for a close race to get your BQ!

Highly recommend!
