The course was beautiful! I even took out my phone and took a picture while running - probably not the safest, but totally worth it. The course description was spot on as far as what to be prepared for. The first half was fast, scary fast. The back half - not so much. Also, It got hot, fast.
Only complaint I have about the course is that it wasn't closed to traffic. I understand it's hard to shut down a highway. However, there were times I felt like I was going to be run over by an 18-wheeler. Twice I had to stop for a car to cross an intersection.
