First off if you are a female who runs under 8:20ish pace please avoid this review...for you nice walk runners and males of all kinds feel free to proceed. \n\nFirst off I will admit my review may not be as objective as it should be:\nI didn't bring home hardware\nI didn't PR\nI did get the worst in race injury of my life and looked ridiculous in MGD64 gear.\n\nLike: flat, music, and non-repetitive\nDislike: high cost, lots of competition (I want to feel like hot stuff and be in front!), not much free stuff at the end, INSANE traffic, and forced to go to the race expo, all non-studying/running time must be spent Yelping!\n\n\nI am tentatively suggesting the IMS Marathon instead although this will be my first time competiting this February! (and i looks like I might get first overall female so fast ladies avoid it!)
