Even though this was my first marathon, I’d like to preface this review saying that I have lots of experience running and competing at a high level at the collegiate level. With that being said, this race has without a doubt been the hardest thing I’ve ever physically done. The first half is fine, sure there are some steep uphills, but it feels like a net downhill. The second half ate me alive. I swear I should have brought climbing gear to get up some of those uphills. They were killing my will to live. I walked up some hills— I NEVER walk, but I physically couldn’t go any faster. As someone who never hydrates during a run, I stopped at every water station. I would recommend drinking 3 or 4 glasses of water at each one, even if you don’t think you need it. The water stops are pretty spaced out; they feel especially spaced out the second half! All in all, it definitely lived up to the billing and I’m glad that this race was my first marathon! Heck of a job by the race organizer, Sam. Thanks and good luck with this race in the future.
