Pros:
- easy packet pickup
- scenic course, running through all the neighborhoods in LA was pretty cool
- great crowds and support
- the finish line at right next to the ocean was pretty awesome
Cons:
- the race was HOT AS F***, make it earlier in the year folks!
- make more pace groups
- changing your start corral was a pain in the ass, basically they stopped it 3 months before the race
- should've been better post race festivities
- traffic around the finish was a pain in the ass, make sure to stay near the finish line or else you aren't leaving anytime soon

Pros:
- organized start corrals
- friendly and helpful volunteers
- you're in NOLA so you can feed your face and have drinks post race
- the first 13.1 miles are pretty scenic
Cons:
- the course got boring around mile 17 and didn't get better till the last 1-2 miles
- the crowds were sparse
- you have to walk a LONG ASS WAY just to get to the packet pickup and expo
- it's part of the RnR series so it can be a bit bush league
- need MORE PORTA-POTIES AT THE START!!!
