Review
Inaugural race.. great organization,lovely people and volunteers. Monotonous scenery but really nice (ocean) .. point to point with no real turns. Biggest issue ..gulf coast winds. Time killer. Flat course .. just that dang wind.
Race Tips
This is flat and no one cheering or anything. You need to be prepared to dig deep and not rely on extrinsic boosts unless you bring someone. This is all you.
