Stefan Blasig from San Diego, California (10/31/2000)
"Excellent course, supportive crowd" (about: 1999)


COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 3  FANS: 5


I did this race in 1999. They will change the course in 2000, so some of my remarks might not be valid anymore. The course was scenic, for a few miles offering an ocean view. It looked flat, but many bridges over small canals in the yacht harbor tuned out to be like hills and took my stamina away. Spectators were very outgoing and supportive, like a smaller version of the L.A. Marathon. However, at least some of the immense amount of food that was provided at the finish line should be offered along the course. We could neither get gel nor bananas, just drinks. Offering suitable food during the second half of the race would be a minor additional effort for the organization, but a great relief for the runners.
