Notes
PR for longest time ever, but I enjoyed it (excepts mile 5-8). I helped Sandy finish a half marathon, and I didn't break down to badly. Things to take away are almost 4 hours on my feet (great for marathon training without the pain on my joints from running), getting 13 miles under my belt without the stress on my foot, and relaxing and realizing it is not always about the PR and finishing quick. sometimes you have to stop and watch the ocean.
Race course was definitely a 10! post race goodies a 3. swag 2 (tech shirt) but the ocean during the race makes up for it. very congested on the shoulder during the major passing times, but not unbearable if you are a faster 1/2 of slower marathoner.
