Good experience for first non-P.F. Chang's race
Looking at my ratings, I've probably been a little harsh, reflecting perhaps too high of expectations. But my previous experience running half and full marathons has been limited to P.F. Chang's Rock N Roll events, so some of my expectations are based on my experiences are.
My only specific recommendations are:
1) I would have preferred to have big water jugs available prior to the race rather than having to use water fountains. (If they were there, I missed 'em, and I walked the entire area.)
2) It seemed like there was a 2-mile gap for water right around the middle of the course.Everything else -- the desire to have a technical long-sleeve tee, the desire to have more spectators -- is not something the race failed at -- it's just something I'd like to see.
I may not run this next year, but it has nothing to do with my experience at the race, just my desire to try a different course.
Overall, a well-run event. Thanks.
