It's pretty hilly, especially from mile 10-12. I ran it last year, and the only thing that made it a PR for me was the fact that it ran about .3 of a mile short (at least according to my Garmin). Also something I'd forgotten until I looked at my Garmin file just now - although the race was chip timed, it was only chip timed at the *finish* (at least this was how they did it last year). That means that my official time started with the gun, whereas I assumed it would start as I crossed the start line (which is when I started my Garmin) - and there is somewhat of a bottleneck at the start because it starts inside the botanical gardens on a narrow road/path. In any case, you may want to clarify with the organizers how the chip timing works because I was completely confused by it at the time, and place yourself near the front if it's as I described. I'm not saying it's not a PR course, but I wouldn't consider it any less hilly than the GA marathon course. Of course, if you train in Athens, you've pretty much got the hills under control. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18441825412060775742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685563959731209847.post-18102383118204892942013-02-28T07:53:11.710-06:002013-02-28T07:53:11.710-06:00I AM running NWH!

And then this bad boy got created, and we got in and BAM. You'll do it one day, promise. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18444420379270376225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685563959731209847.post-54458734793183110542013-02-28T07:16:40.252-06:002013-02-28T07:16:40.252-06:00Gaaaaaah!

That race is on my bucket list and most likely the year that I'll be able to run it, I won't get into the lottery. EEP! I'm totally a training plan person, I like seeing everything that I need to do laid out at the beginning of the week. Great job on the speedwork the other day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
