Pretty first half& second ok

I'm working toward crossing off my 50 states and picked this marathon due to the lower elevation and proximity to Glacier National Park. The first half was a beautiful course running through the scenic country side. The second half was not as pretty and a bit boring. Mile 20-26 are on unshaded highway and due to the weather being around 80 degrees that was tough and there were limited water supplies at that point in the course when it was most needed. It was known several days in advance that it would be unseasonably warm and offering an early race start would have made a big difference. This is overall a smaller race only 126 ended up completing the full marathon this year so it is to be expected limited frills and amenities.
