Excelent job on this first time race hats off. The only problem might have been to have a couple more water stations early. the second half seemed closer together as they moved some accross the road. The swag both medal and long sleeve shirt fantastic. the board walk to Assateague Island great layout with unfortunate small shoulder and busy trafic between. Volunteers and support was fantastik and helped manage the road well.
