The woodlands Marathon was a nice addition to my schedule. I have been at the Woodlands many times, but never actually there to run it. Its filled with miles and miles of trees, making it seem a bit surreal and kinda cool. The expo left me wishing for more, it was outside the mall on some tents in the parking lot. Not very big, and kinda unattended.
They did however gave us a choice of a cap or a visor, and then we got a finisher shirt at the end. From all the 1/2 and full marathons I've done, i never have actually gotten a the t-shirt at the end of the event!
The expo and fleet feet had some pretty cool looking shirts and i couldn't help to buy. My new ulta-marine blue shirt is a great addition to my collections of shirts (Thank god, i bought it cus the finisher shirts sucked!)
The start of the race was freaking cold!! not 3M cold but still. The course was pretty easy, although i am not used to running on concrete, Yep all the streets were made of concrete, kinda fancy huh?
The medals were pretty cool!!! had some translucent gel and a spinning 13.1. What i kinda liked a lot was that the visor, the bib, and the medal all carried a common color scheme. I wish more races were as organized and brand conscious.
That's Number 5! only 8 more to go. The next one will be sometime in July...until then happy running!
