Hard to enter but fun to run
It was a real challenge to enter this race. Entry was geared toward residents of Brazil (they didn't seem to take US credit cards) and they made entries available in waves, with large numbers of people vying for them. After a lot of hassle getting in, the on-sight logistics were fine. They treated me nicely and the race was well organized. The crowds were large for the first half of the race, although being slowed by the crowds actually helped me because I have a tendency to go out too fast. There was a good amount of food (cookies and gu) on the course. The course was scenic and flat and partly shaded. I enjoyed it and would do it again if it were easier to enter.
