    State 34+1 Maryland done. The Ocean City Half was a pretty good race. Packet pick up was pretty easy and held at the convention center. It’s a point to point run and the shuttle was super easy. Course was mostly flat with the only real hill at the beginning going up a bridge. Got to finish on the board walk which was pretty cool also. The after party was pretty big as there was 4 total races today. Not many food options at the end but maybe i missed them. Big time stomach issues and was trying to not toss up my gels. Would totally recommend this one if you need Maryland.

    I ran the first Ocean City Marathon and the weather was horrible that particular day. Keep in mind there is no shade on this course, and when I ran it was nearly 90 degrees. I ran a pretty slow 3:56, but it ended up being first in my age group. I was a little disappointed the “award” for first in your age group was just a little tiny key chain. Overall it was a nice low key race. There is good crowd support, but you also go through areas where it is quiet for some time. While the course is flat, there is a relatively large upward climb when you get to Assateague State Park. After party is okay, I was pretty tired and really just left. I would recommend, hopefully weather is better other years.

    My biggest and main concern was the weather, which unfortunately nobody can control. With humidity it was ~86 F. There wasn’t any electrolytes at the early stops (I think they got swamped before I arrived) and I had to slow it down because I was cramping, and it was suspect heat exhaustion cramps. I actually just walked the last 2ish miles. I indirectly know someone that suffered heat stroke and was in the hospital 3 days from running this, so I’m thinking I made the right call.

    That aside, the course is very flat and it is definitely scenic. I think they did a good job considering this was the inaugural. I would recommend going forward.

    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.
