I really enjoyed getting to run alongside the beach. I honestly didn’t mind the long stretches between miles 5 and 9 (or 10?) It was fun to see and cheer on the runners ahead or behind when you run past them the opposite way – it’s like seeing future or recent past-you while continuing your run! After the race, I much preferred going out to the beach and sitting on the sand and wading in the waves in the peaceful rush of lapsing water over the pulse of the busy celebration expo area up near the finish/start line. I am not from California, so it was fun for me to experience the nice weather and beach setting while also enjoying the satisfaction of a PR and endorphins.

The only main setback I would say – are that the people intermixed around the finish line were from all three races, including the 5K, and there were some walkers around the spot that several half marathoners were finishing and trying to speed up. So we had to dodge the walkers.
