I LOVED this race. Maybe it's my love affair with Nashville, maybe it was the friend who pushed me to finish strong, but just like all of the RNR races- it's AWESOME. Here are some things to know:

There are a lot of hills. Nothing insurmountable, but steady and constant. Be ready for that.
Mile 12 is all uphill. I wish I'd known that so I could have mentally prepared.
The music is awesome, but I wish there was more. I always want more music!
You will start smelling bacon around mile 4, then it'll be mixed with barbecue. For the rest of the race.
The after-party is amazing. And be sure to wear your medal when you go out that night, lots of high fives to go around.
