I drove down overnight Thurs/Friday and got to my hotel *almost* right on the beach mid morning Friday. On the way I realized I was in the land of Krispy Kreme! Then I was even more excited when I realized that the half marathon course ran right past the big red "Hot Donuts Now" sign!!
The expo was small -- a few vendors and some local information. Picked up my bib, shirt, and other swag (sunglasses and special 10th anniversary socks!!) and then headed to grab some dinner.

In the morning I was able to walk half a block and catch a shuttle to the start. I was completely unprepared for the weather though! It. Was. FA-REEZING! Like, literally it was about 35 degrees out. So my tank and skirt were not nearly enough. I made a wrap out of a mylar blanket and ended up carrying it with me for about 4 miles.
We passed the grail (Krispy Kreme!) around mile 2 and I had to pull in for a fresh hot donut! It was worth the lost time on the course.

The rest of the half was fairly uneventful. It was windy, it was chilly but when in the sun it was perfect! Nice course - flat flat flat which is my favorite! I ended up having my best half time in a couple of years so probably need to do this one again!

Post-race food was GREAT! Pizza, beer and - of course - donuts! Lots and lots of donuts. I may have OD'd on donuts that day if that was even possible!!

I give the Myrtle Beach Half a huge thumbs up. A sticky glaze covered thumbs up!!
