It was a great day! I ran the half, and it was a lovely day! Here are some pictures . I saw 4 deer on the course. Every year it amazes me that the deer are there amongst the runners and sometimes they just stand there and look at you!

The first half runs pretty much around the resort and is rolling and fairly well shaded. The second half runs through some meadows by a horse stable and an airport and is fairly unshaded – it gets pretty hot in this section – then it heads back to the Athlete Village for a big finish! The full marathoners do a second loop.

I loved the colored shirt this year! Big improvement over the white shirts the last couple of years. There is always great entertainment as well. I can tell you, as a vendor, I am at the athlete village from around 6AM to 10 PM so I get to experience the whole thing! My booth was the first one from the Finish line – I hope you were able to stop in and say hi!
