downhill but the view does not change

The parts of the first and all of the last half are along a 4 lane highway, which is straignt so you have the same view for a long long time. The course is net downhill but it is gentle so you don't notice it, there are a few uphills to suprise you. I stayed at the host hotel, the special rate made it a good deal and worth it, especailly as a desitination race. The orgainization was good, there was a new race director in 2022. The buses drop you off a 10 minute walk from the start. You can stay on the bus until you are ready for port-o-potties which are at the start, so bring warm clothes. There is a drop bag. Pros + net downhill, but gradual + good organization + we had good weather 32-60 Negatives - mostly on 4 lane highway - view does not change - sometimes on the shoulder which was uneven Glad I did it, not sure I would repeat,, a long trip from the east coast, but a fun special event
