    First race in Texas. It was beautiful with the views of the lake. Course was pretty flat with some small hills sprinkled in. Ran this the day after a wedding so didn’t do my best but I had a blast and we crossed TX off the list! Everyone was so nice.

    The race was very warm for November, there were record breaking heat that weekend. They encouraged runners to slow down and make sure to hydrate.
    There were plenty of water stations along the course but not very much people cheering. Well run race. Since the weather wasn’t ideal, there weren’t the normal cyclist/runners out on the trail fussing at the participants for being in their way.

    Race is the best of small local race and big race organization. As one of the oldest half in Texas, these organizers have everything down from starting to road closures and support. Their pacers are AMAZING! They don’t start too fast like I have experienced in other races and they are positive, supportive and will get you across the finish time in the time they are pacing!

    How cool, I had no idea this was the oldest half in TX! Good pacers can be tough to come by and are always appreciated, since there's nothing more frustrating than trusting a pacer to stay on pace, working hard for 13 miles and then coming in behind your goal time because the pacer was off. Thanks, Kristyna! LESS
