This is a well-organized race, just very boring. Race morning was a windy 30-degrees. I had my outfit laid out: tights, long sleeve tech shirt, running wind breaker, compression socks, hat, gloves, maternity belt.

This route is a super boring, hilly out and back. I have ran that stretch a few times and am always amazed at how grey and bleak it is, perpetually. There isn't much crowd support. It's basically the first race you can run coming out of winter and that's it's main draw.
