Good race and under my 2 hour objective. Only 5 minutes slower than my PR 3 years earlier. Given the temperature was 80 degrees and high 70% humidity (40 degrees hotter and 40% more humidity), consider it a great race...not the venue. The course is not closed for race only. Bikes and runners are always on the lake...the bikers are blowing through the racers the entire time. This is dangerous. (2) White Rock is a beautiful rolling lake encompassed by a phenomenal 9.4 mile walk, run, bike trail, but the course is an up and back that leaves the lake area for about 3 miles & goes out to a hwy with loose gravel, running next to cars & fumes - more danger & sucks. (3) mile 5 has water & the next is nearly 3 miles later. (4) when going to pick up the packet at the designated time, the simply handed you a shirt & number - no envelope w/ information, #pins, coupons, etc. (5) first event I have run in 7 yrs without any music or entertainment on the course (I don’t need this, but it adds character to the event). (6) the end of race entertainment was a 3rd or 4th tier Elvis imitator and water & G, no food, beer, etc? Just my thoughts. http://www.hottesthalf.com/results/954HALFAGE.HTM http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3124327
