This race was ridiculous from the start. Was told by three different volunteers three different locations for the gear drop. Spent 20 minutes prior to the start trying to find it. Zero signage other than a small sign over booth. Less than a quarter of a mile from the start you turned a corner and had an immense intercoastal bridge 90’+. I was hoping to PR, thinking it was a Florida flat course, but that was nixed 2 minutes from the start. There ended up being 3 bridges of nearly equal height and after the last one an actual hill at the bottom of the bridge that was half as high as the bridges. I ran Boston last year and these bridges put the “Hills of Newton” including “Heartbreak Hill” to shame After that was some tricky maneuvering to get in a bike path for a couple of miles dropping you into a neighborhood with speed humps everywhere. I guess they put the course where they could. Just a bad overall experience but it is a Rock n Roll series race so you get what you pay for. Never again…
