About Me

  • Running club(s):

    NYRR, Greater Rochester Track Club, Greater Derry Track Club, 50 States Half Marathon Club

  • Rave race:

    Los Angeles Marathon 2020

  • Race that's calling my name:

    New York City Marathon

  • I run because:

    Running changed my life! I started running again after a many year hiatus to curb some bad habits and get a more positive outlook on life. As a result I am a much happier, healthier person since I started running again in Fall 2018 and I have no plans to stop any time soon! My ultimate goal is to run a half marathon or longer in every state, province and continent!

I was initially going to do the Maui Oceanfront Half for Hawaii but after the devastating fires I decided to cancel that trip. I chose to do this race instead for a few reasons. The main one was that it took place on a Holiday weekend and I needed to minimize vacation day use to save them for Antarctica in March and the other reason was quite a few of my running friends were finishing their 50th state here. I also ideally wanted to go to a different island than O’ahu for Hawaii as I had already been to O’ahu and Honolulu on vacation. Kauai is a beautiful island but is much less urban than O’ahu which has it’s positives and negatives. The biggest negative being it’s more expensive and logistics can be trickier with less flights and hotel options but the positives are that Kauai has some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen and it feels more authentic. For the race I just took off Friday and had Monday off so it was a pretty quick trip. There was good pre-race communication with a simple but easy to read race guide and the right amount of pre-race emails. I took the earliest flight from Boston to Lihue Friday and arrived mid-afternoon. The host hotel for the race is the Grand Hyatt Kauai. It’s a fancy resort and a bit more expensive than I usually pay for a race hotel but with the race discount it is cheap for a Hawaiian resort and was much cheaper than the lodging I initially booked for Maui. It was somewhere around $350 per night. Since I was staying only a couple nights I decided to treat myself and pay it. It is very convenient staying there as the expo is there and there are shuttles to the race there. Kauai is a difficult island to explore without a car as there are limited ubers and lyfts but there is enough to do around the resort and the surrounding areas to get away without renting a car if you don’t drive or don’t want to. I did rent one since I wanted to explore. After I arrived I checked in and then went to the expo. The expo is open both Friday and Saturday. It’s a small to mid sized expo about what you would expect for a race this size with a couple thousand runners. Swag included bib, tote bag and shirt. The shirt is a nice material but it’s neon green and not my favorite design. Saturday I explored the island (walked to Poipu beach to see sea turtles and seals, visited Waimea Canyon and took a raft tour of the Na Pali coast) and then Sunday was race day. The race starts early at 6am which is necessary as it is hot and humid. The race starts about 1.5 miles from the hotel and there were shuttles. One thing I loved is there were a ton of signs directing where to go to the shuttles as it is a big resort. The shuttle was efficient and I got there about an hour early. The start area was nice with plenty of porta potties and some light pre-race snacks but my stomach was a little off as I ate too much fresh fruit and drank too much fresh fruit juice on my trip and the options were fruit, fig bars and yogurt and I would not be able to stomach any of them. The start had announcements, some traditional Hawaiian prayers and the anthem. One thing I wish is that the corral was better organized. It didn’t really have any signs of where to line up by pace. I assumed I would be near the end given the time limit but there were a couple hundred participants behind me so there was a lot of passing the first mile. However one thing really nice about this race is it is on all closed or partially closed roads so there was plenty of space to spread out. I’ve also heard many of the other Hawaiian races are on open roads. The only downside is this race has a tighter time limit than some other Hawaiian races. It’s not a very tight time limit but you have to get to mile 6.7 in1:55 which is around a 16 minute/mile pace. This sounds easy enough for me except the first 7 miles are uphill. . After that though it is all downhill and you have as much time as needed to finish. If you don’t make it to mile 6.7 in the time limit they shuttle you to further along the course and you get a medal but no official time. Since Hawaii is not easy to get to, I could not risk a DNF and I pushed myself as hard as I could those 6.7 miles. Luckily they are beautiful. This is one of the most scenic half marathons I have done. I still have Grand Teton as #1 for scenery but this could be #2 and is definitely top 5. There are gorgeous tropical views and views of mountains. It is so beautiful the miles fly by. Most of the uphill is gradual and I was able to do run-walk intervals for most of it. There is a really steep section about halfway through mile 5 that I could only walk so make sure you bank time for that if you are worried about the time limit. Around mile 6 you go through about a mile of the tree tunnel which is really cool as you are surrounded by beautiful tropical trees and then you reach the time limit. I was very relieved I made it in about 1:45 so had plenty of time to spare. Of course that really wore me out and I mentioned I had stomach trouble and waited until after the time cutoff point to use the porta potty so the next half of the race was not pretty performance wise as I walked a lot and took several bathroom breaks but it didn’t matter I was going to get Hawaii done. And it was definitely still pretty scenery wise. This part is mostly downhill and if you didn’t waste all your energy on the uphill it could be fast. If you are a faster runner I would take the uphill easy and if this race didn’t have a time limit I would have taken it easier. Some of the next few miles are through a small town so there are a lot of spectators who were giving out fruit and spraying with hoses and sprinklers. The last couple miles while scenic enough were a bit frustrating as they had no shade and were super, super hot and humid. Race production overall I thought was very good but there were a few minor things that could be better. The course was very easy to follow and very safe with closed roads. There were accurate mile markers. The one thing I thought could be improved is more aid stations. They were every 2 miles which is not enough for how hot it was. I brought water but I wish I also packed something with electrolytes as even though one aid station in the middle had GU and all had gatorade I had cramping at the end of the race indicating I needed more electrolytes. There also weren’t quite enough porta potties. While there weren’t huge lines they were pretty full by the time I got to them and very gross. A couple extra aid stations and porta potties and a more organized start corral and I’d have no production complaints. My finishing time was okay. I was on pace to finish at 3:15 at the halfway mark but fell a part a bit for reasons stated above. I still finished under 3:30. The finish line is nice with an announcer and a finish arch. You get your medal which is nice though not spectacular. There is a good post race party. I liked that they had ice coffee with lots of non-dairy milk options as I could not handle dairy that day. They also had a pretty good selection of post race food but I couldn’t eat too much and just grabbed a bar to eat. There was a shuttle back to the hotel. The shuttle was pretty efficient. There was about a 15 minute wait. It wasn’t too bad and I had plenty of time to get back, shower and pack before 11am check out. I had a great time with this race and thought the scenery was so beautiful and Kauai was such a lovely place that I started to think I could make this a part of my regular rotation and go whenever I had a few spare vacation days but that all changed on my journey back to Boston. My initial flight was at 9pm on Sunday from Lihue and arrived in Boston at 5PM on Monday. We boarded the flight on time but waited in our seats 2 hours due to mechanical issues and in the end we needed a part shipped from O’ahu which couldn’t arrive until the next day so we unboarded and unfortunately the flight got moved back too late for me to get to work on Tuesday. Me and a few other runner friends on my flight ended up booking a different flight to Southwest Monday at 7am and had to spend the night in the Lihue airport on a bench and I eventually made it back to Boston bright and early on Tuesday and basically had to head straight to work. The whole trip took about 33 hours starting at the time I arrived at the Lihue airport. This is not really related to the race but remember Kauai is a small island that doesn’t have a ton of supplies on the island so if you can, try to take an extra back up day off for travel. I also decided after that mess I won’t be going to Hawaii anytime soon as there are plenty of beachy races in the Caribbean to do instead. I would still definitely recommend this race and if it wasn’t a 13 hour trip (or 33 hour trip if your flight gets delayed and you need to reschedule it) I would definitely do it again. I am also happy to have 49 states done and am all set to finish in Oregon at the Eugene Half in the Spring!
