Ran a great race. This organizer has a knack for good courses and cool shirts but some horrible logistics. Race started almost 30 minutes late. The mile markers were wildly inaccurate although the overall race course measured very close to 13.1 miles. But having inaccurate mile markers made it difficult for me to know how I was doing since I was only wearing a simple watch marking splits but no Garmin showing pace or distance. Some very tough hills mixed into miles 6, 7 and 8, but overall a fun course. Due to a bad marker at mile 12, I thought I had no shot at breaking 1:30 so I waited at least 60 seconds for my friend Keith to catch up to me so we could finish together. If I had known my real time, I would have hustled in for a PR (currently 1:28:40). Felt great at the end.
