This course has some beautiful views, but prepare yourself for a tough climb mile 8-11. The rest of the course is nice and fast, but that section keeps you honest!! The aid stations were great, there were lots of restrooms by the start and plenty of water along the course. After the race be sure to know which way to exit, I went the wrong way and spent a good 45 mins trying to find a place to cross the street to get back to my hotel.
