Two weeks from today, anybody else running this? My second consecutive year...expecting a big crowd of runners and a much improved time. Good luck to all those participating.

I'm in. Just started back running in January. Hoping for a PR. I was on pace last year for a huge PR until my feet and knee started hurting. Knowing I had races coming up, I took my shoes off and walked a bit. Still beat my time from the previous year. Hoping for a PR.

This is my 4th. I did the 2010, 2015 & 2016.

2010: 2:09:02
2015: 1:42:08
2016: 1:42:01

My PR is 1:38:23 at Dallas in 2015.

This will be my first year to run the new course. The old course had a great fast finish, not so much anymore.

That last .1 down hill was awesome.

This one has quite a profile. The bridge doesn't show up in elevation becasue the elevation doesn't change but you do.

Yep, you run opposite of regular traffic flow, up the ramp that exits off the bridge. A little later the Kessler Park hills happen.

Two days to go. Was hoping for cooler weather but it's going to be kind of warm and breezy.

Best of luck to everyone running.

Thanks. I just hope I don't get pushed to the front of coral 1 again. That killed me last year.

How'd everyone do this morning. I know it wasn't too bad heat wise, but there was definitely some humidity this morning

1:26. First time running this course, had aspirations of running low 6s on the back end, hill on sylvan had other plans for me

I'm old and slow. Was shooting for 1:55 or better, but hills, heat, and lack of a breeze made it rough. Finished in 2:01 which was 7 minutes better than last year, but still disappointed that I wasn't able to push a little harder.

Great time Pilot!

Several people telling me they clocked 13.5 miles this year. Probably didn't run the tangents

13.2 for me and almost got that PR. Missed it by 5 seconds but that hill on mile 8 zapped me. I went out way too fast. Again. No more corral one for me in this race.

Apparently people are up in arms about the lack of water and running out for the people that take a long time to finish. Apparently the last 2 stops were out of water and cups.

Tons of heat related issues. Apparently they weren't prepared for as hot as it was.
