- Much improved course from 2013. They rerouted the beginning, which kept everyone out of no man's land like the year before. Also, it was a much better tour of the city. Perfect weather helped.
- Still pretty hectic at the start and finish. Streets are a nightmare during and after the race.
- Promised gels, but never showed up until mile 21 (inconsistency happened year prior, too). Make sure you take everything you need.
