While I am new to racing half marathons, I'm not too new to know that you don't start a half marathon at 830am resulting in the potential of folks finishing at 1030, 1130am and even later. It was dang hot! So hot that the water stations had kiddie pools with washcloths and ice in them to cool off participants. EXCEPT by the time I got to them, they were GONE. I feel this is unacceptable. It was just too hot. The temp you cant control, but I believe race mgmt needs to consider an earlier start and better managed aid stations.

At least one positive, the views were to die for! First two miles through downtown and then the next two up and over bridge, back downtown and then to the board walk. The boards were great under my feet. They had some give to them and it was well needed by the time it came.

Again? No. Unfortunately I will not be beck for this race unless some drastic changes in the race are made.
