There were so many spectators that I lost track of time and distance and ended up with a PR.

This race was very HOT. Granted you can't control the weather, but the flat roads and lack of shade made things interesting out there. The roads overall were nice and well maintained. Organization was adequate. Water was really warm, wetsuits almost weren't allowed. Overall decent race,

My first half marathon. Gorgeous New England woodland scenery. Not much of an expo or anything beforehand (at least, not in 2015) but fantastic Smuttynose beer afterwards. I might have had one or three while waiting for my wife to finish the marathon.
