I think this location just became a favorite. The course is way cool and most of it takes place on a bridge where you go up the bridge, then down the bridge, turn around and go back up the bridge and back down the bridge, and circle around and finish. I had so much energy left at the finish, it came up so quickly after I turned the corner. Next year I will be ready and it will be a sprint to the finish.
Great start and finish for sure. Really nice Finisher Medal and a nice shirt. They were selling the cool shirts for $50 and to me, that is too much money.
The post-party at the end of the race was off the hook. Subway choice of ham or turkey on the softest bun and you also got a bag of chips & a chocolate chip cookie. Wow!
Then you have 2 drink tickets for 2 beers and they had such good beer. Michelob Light and Budweiser in a cool can. I sat at a picnic table and talked with other runners and everyone was just so happy to be there, as it should be right!
