Second year doing the international half, it was just as fun as the first year. It seemed to me like there was more entertainment along the course this time. Since it is on a Sunday, you can street park for free, no further away than many of the garage/lot options. The only thing that was sort of annoying was how many streets were blocked after the finish line. Also, no free beer! How hard is it to get a beer sponsor? For how much the race costs we should at least get ONE beer after we finish.
