I did a personal record on the course with a finish time of 4:03:00 (53min:58sec better than my last one Feb. 2008 in Austin, TX).

I traveled down a day early to visit and photograph the historic Alamo site.  While there, I studied Texas history, viewed the gardens and jogged the San Antonio River Walk.  The Historic sections, flora & fauna and weather were all phenomenal. 

I enjoyed the town's people and other runners as well the race course volunteers who staffed the many water and aid stations.  

Many thanks to the people of San Antonio for hosting us!

Constructively:  Enjoyed the walk to start line, found out later I avoided bus issues.  Attempted to walk from the finish area and found Elite's management planning and organization skills for the finish village safety, crowd control, package pick-up and exit strategy could benefit measurably from improvement.
