One and Done

For $10+ per mile, I expect perfect organization and didn't get it. The GOOD- great medal; organized start area; scenic course; water stops after the split; traffic control. The BAD- I registered in Nov. and could not get a shirt anywhere close to my size; dynamic bib number assignment is useless and led to my getting a wrong corral sticker; the pinch point/ bottleneck at the 1/4 mile mark; overwhelmed water stops B4 the split; mostly overly-diluted Gatorade; lousy runner post-race food and drink; no one at the finish area to help me get a lost cell phone back to its owner. The heat and humidity were rough, but probably not unusual for S Fla. even in the middle of winter.
