My goal at this race was to pace my running partner to a sub 4:00 BQ. We had signed up for this one to help us stay motivated through the winter training months. The race ended up being really windy (25 mph the whole time with gusts up to 40 mph at the end), but the course is such a great flat course that it still made achieving that BQ possible thanks to the determination of my running partner who smartly tried to duck in and draft off of me. (I'm 6-6!) :)

This course had a lot of great things to look at for most of it including nearly a 10-12 mile stretch right along the Atlantic Ocean. The water stops were great and I was able to actually grab a bottle of water a couple of times to keep us moving along and not stopping at every stop. There were not a lot of spectators, but it never felt desolate.

The expo wasn't huge, but they did have some great deals selling some of their previous year merchandise extremely cheap. This made for good throwaways or also some nice shirts to take home.

This is definitely a good destination race and I think they are also moving the date from February to March moving forward so the weather should be even better. I would do this one again.
