It's a tough one!

This was my 20th marathon and maybe my toughest one yet. I obviously checked out the elevation chart prior to the race and thought other than the big hill at mile 22/23, the rest of the course was fairly level&it's not. This is one tough course! The first half had more hills than I was expecting. The crowd support for the first half was good, but not great. Miles 14 through 21 are a lot of running on trails, with little or no crowd support, so it starts getting lonely. Then of course comes THE HILL at around mile 22/23& makes Heartbreak Hill look like a bunny hill! I thought I was ready for it, but it was brutal. Once you get to the top of THE HILL, the last 3 miles were great. San Diego is such a great town, with so many great little neighborhoods. I think if they would incorporate more of the neighborhoods into the course, they could design a much better course, which would also lead to better crowd support.
