The course was very nice here. I can't remember much of the race from the previous year, but I think I'd remember the number of hills that were there this year. I thought Texas was supposed to be flat! The 0800 start time was pretty warm and it only got worse. I started my kick a little early, as I normally do. Only this time it was around mile three...I'm such a rookie that way.I also had some nipple chaffing problems with my Too Hot to Handle singlet. Fortunately it wasn't too bad though. I only brought one GU, and took it around mile 6. I think the aid stations were every 1.5 miles. The crowd support was surprisingly high, and I think participant numbers were up from last year. The race shirt was a really nice, white, long sleeve Brooks with the race logo printed on it. TEAM in Training was out at the event getting ready for the Dallas White Rock Marathon in Dec., so there was a lot of support for that too. The aid stations were really well staffed, and it's always fun grabbing your Gatorade from an enthusiastic little 10 year old at the table.
Altogether this was a good way to knock out a long run in a relatively quick time!
