My performance was not what I expected and that is a tribute to how tough this course is set up. I typically run a 1:50 – 1:55 half and I was just happy to cross the finish line still running. The course is tough. It felt more like a trail run but on asphalt. Hilly and scenic. The Hill Country lives up to its name with this one. The weather was great and the race went off a little late but no big deal there. The water stops are placed at locations where you will hit them twice. While I did not earn an award – they were beautiful pieces of art. I hope that tradition continues and I will try to run faster next time to earn one. I would definitely run it again. I have three half marathons in Waco that are billed as the hilliest in Texas. I ran them faster than this one. I would put this ahead of the Waco halfs in terms of hilliness.
