This is another well run rock n roll event. T-shirts and medals are getting better again after Ironman bought them. The course was much hillier than I was expecting. One steep hill lasted for a mile and a half (mile 10-11.5). Seattle is a very pretty city. The weather was great.

This was the best supplied race I have run. Bacon, licorice, pretzels, Swedish fish, tissues, chocolate, beer, oranges, orange candy and all the normal stuff. The spectators were great. The only drawback was funneling 43000 people through a five foot opening to get to corrals.

This is a very scenic race. It starts at the naval academy and goes through downtown Annapolis. The course is mostly flat the toughest part was going over the naval academy bridge. It was very cold and windy and as people hit the bridge, they had to adjust because the wind was blowing their legs out from underneath them. I was sick that day so I was very happy to see that the course was 1.1 miles short. My husband wasn’t so happy because he thought he significantly reduced his time. The medals are nice, but they kind of shoved them at us in the plastic bag they came in as we finished the race. There were oysters and beer at the end of the race. I don’t consume either, but everyone else seemed to love it.

This has been the most beautiful race that I have run. It runs along the shouting for most of the race. It is a point to point race for the marathon and they bus the half marathon runners to the halfway point of the marathon. The weather was a little cold to start with, but considering that it rained all day the day before , I was just happy that it wasn’t raining. It was sunn so it didn’t stay cold for too long. The only down side was that we were running on the shouder or an open traffic road. The shoulder had a pretty good size pitch to it and we were on the same side the whole was. Tough on the joints.
