3 Bests – what aspects of the race did you like the most

First one, I get to enjoy the run like I’ve never been before. I did all of the things I’ve learned since I start training. Second, I proof it to myself that I can do it and I did it well. Last one, I met so many cool people during my run!

Not so much – aspects of the race that didn’t do it for you

I started to feel a little pain on my 5th mile, which I thought was very early.

Weird factor – what’s the weirdest thing about this race

Nothing weird enough to talk about..:)

Highlights of your race – what did you do well and enjoy about your race in particular

Even when I was in pain, I enjoy the fuck out of the run. I remember what you said about it. I also know that my body is ready for it.

Aesthetics – is it a pretty course

It was a very pretty course. Arboretum was beautiful! I thing I shed a few tears when I passed the Japanese Garden. There was Japanese drum circle type of band, and they were AMAZING!!!

Difficulty – is it a tough course

No. I don’t think so. I’ve done Seattle HM (in November) and that one was hard

Organized and well run – did it feel like a well-oiled machine or were they flying by the seat of their pants?

It was

Competition – is there a strong field?

I personally didn’t pay attention on that since

Logistics – Does it require a special handshake, registration a year in advance, hotels all booked? Give us the low down on the nuts and bolts of making the race happen.

I don’t think so since I didn’t have to do much as far as registration. It was smooth sailing for me..

Weather and typical race conditions

Weather was perfect. Not too hot, and the morning was cool.

Gear – did you need anything special or is there anything you’d recommend for the next guy?

I don’t think so

Spectators – is this a friendly course for your friends

Yes!
