Yeah, don't get me wrong, the crowd was fantastic. They were letting us drink out of their hoses, giving us their ice cubes, handing out snacks...everything the race was supposed to be doing. The city was fantastic, the course is fantastic, but I didn't think that they could screw up a marathon of that magnitude. And for what they charge, there is no way they should have messed up that badly.
I'm not trying to talk you out of running it, I'm just very very bitter towards it. I think with better weather and circumstances that don't require the race director to get involved, it would have been a fantastic experience...
