I loved this race! I signed up for this race because of the bling. The medal is unique and as someone coming from a military family it was a must do for me. The expo was great and there certainly was no lack of assistance from race officials. Despite insane humidity conditions I ran my best time since my leg injury last year 😍 12 miles in 2:28! I highly recommend the Navy Nautical Ten Miler to all runners. The energy is wonderful and there's so much free food 🥘The best part was I had a gentleman come up to me afterwards and say I was his pacer ❤️ He said as long as he kept me in sight he knew his pace was ok. I cannot describe how happy I was to hear I inspired him to keep going (honestly from Nautical Mile 5 I could've destroyed humidity if it were a person 😂).
