Describe your race day.
I thought the post-race food and activities were great. The medal is very nice, and I think the shirt is great too.
There weren’t any major snafus for me, fortunately, but there are a few things from an organizational standpoint that could have made the day go better :
1) Clear directions/signage of where the half and full marathon shuttles are located. My sister and husband ran the half, and I ran the full. I barely was able to get on the last full marathon shuttle bus bc I accidentally got on the half marathon shuttle first.
2) Waves organized by expected finish time, not when the person registered. This would be due to safety reasons. I had to turn around to look over my shoulder and sometimes run on the actual highway (not shoulder) in order to avoid traffic as I was passing people. The shoulder is too narrow to pass people while staying on the shoulder. This could be avoided by having faster runners in front, decreasing the need to pass other runners.
