small race, pretty course

Review
It was a double out-n-back race this year, which makes it easier for them to manage. Not sure what the other half of the previous course included, but the views of the beach and winery were nice. Good food after the race (chili and apple cider donuts).
Race Tips
It is a hilly course (970ft), particularly in the last few miles (of each half with the double out-n-back). I saw a lot of people go to hard early on and fade later in the race.
I signed up late and ended up getting a hotel in St. Albans. It was only a 30 minute drive. I got there about 75 minutes before the start and got a prime parking spot. They seemed to have a decent amount of parking for the size of the race.
