First of all, there are very few races I like to do more than once. This race is not one I would want to repeat but not because of the race, itself. There was no shade and the race route is pretty boring with not many aid stations. I struggled because I let my training fall off during the months leading up to the race so that’s on me. I would rather have started the race earlier to avoid some of the sun and heat. Everyone was packing up when I crossed the finish line (again, that’s on me). I really enjoy a race with a lot of route support so this race was not for me.
Beautiful views
Little bit of up and downs but great views. Warm but had some wind which helped. Very cool medal. Good race. Would recommend. Shirt was good. MORE
