This course is described as flat and fast. Perhaps there is something to that since I did so well but it did not feel all that flat to me. I guess when I hear flat I think pancake flat. This course had some rolling hills to it, including about a half a mile climb at the end. Every hill I ran up I thought to myself ‘their website is a lie, A LIE’. Hills make me ragey.
The other thing about this race is that it is long, like way long. I stopped my watch when I hit 13.1 and could still not see the finish line. It took me another minute and a half running a 9 minute pace to actually get there. So if I do the math, carry the one, divide by pi…… equals too freakin long. The weird thing was that there was a finish line set up where it would have measured about 13.1 but we ran by it and finished at the start. It was as if the actual finish was inconvenient so they just moved it on down the road. If you are going to do that take the other finish down. Don’t mock us with it. But I did it, official time or garmin time both under 2 = WIN.
The course is beautiful. Well organized with a place to stay warm indoors before and inside loos are always a win. Medal is cheap and not awesome. Shirt was long sleeve and nice. Fun Halloween themed fair after. Overall pretty fun race.
