This was my first half marathon and I was nervous I wouldn't be able to do it. But I think this was a great course to do for the first time. Most of the run was flat, hardly any hills. The bands that are playing every mile or so really helped, along with people sitting in their front yards cheering. I even high-fived a dog dressed in a lobster costume! I forgot to bring a water bottle, but they did a good job of passing out water and juice. Luckily it didn't matter for me, but I noticed that if you did need to make a bathroom stop, there really weren't many port-a-potties. By mile ten I felt fine and the last three miles flew by! I would definitely do this race again!!!!!
There is a mixture between serious athletes and people doing a sprint Triathlon for the first time. The swim is in the Rancho Seco Lake. The bike is on the road, where one lane is closed to traffic. There bike route is packed with small hills. The run is on a dirt trail that also has quite a few small hills. The event is organized and packed with energetic people!
