This was a great recap Simon! I couldn't agree with you more on your points. I had a blast being out there with the team but I was not overly impressed with my first "m dot" event. I think I'll just have to try another city and see if that Ironman event runs smoother.

Thanks for sharing, Simon; always great to know these things before/if you are going to do the race. How about the Morgan Hill Marathon next year? I'm thinking it may be a better, small town marathon.

Mr Re-Boston Qualifier:

Well done! What an epic performance in crappy conditions.

Go Hokies!

Danica, you're absolutely right...I forgot about that! There was one port-a-potty around Mile #19 but it had nothing to do with the race...it was for the farm workers. Great point about the lack of medical staff, too! Congrats to you on an excellent race, despite the conditions.

Hey Simon - I enjoyed reading your account of the Camarillo event. Congrats on qualifying for the Boston Marathon again. I certainly admire you and anyone who has the discipline to train for andcomplete any marathon in the kinds of times you are running.

Hey! I ran that race too! It was definitely barren out there and you also forgot to mention there were no portapotties... ANYWHERE! The cups were missing as well, which was hilarious. Also, I almost got ran over on my way to the finish line... people leaving the half marathon were not paying attention and I wasn't THAT slow! I also noticed a GLARING problem. There was absolutely NO medical plan and I wouldn't even want to know what would happen if someone went down. Great job out there despite the circumstances!

Great recap of the race. I was there, volunteering, while my friend/coached raced. It was a super tough day and the race logistics were questionable to me. Couldn't believe they ran out of some things at aid stations on the course. And athletes being turned away for medical help? Redunkulous!

Congrads on your epic day. 140.6 is a tough distance. It was great to follow you all day--you had tons of people pulling for you.

It was an amazing day!
