Race track was gone and DHS construction had started last year, so there was an added "out and back" between the water treatment plant and DAK.
That stinks! No, it really does. lol
Then slow down!
I'd like to see the course have that, too. The 2017 marathon course didn't have a lot of HS, mostly due to construction, and it seems like this year's course may have less of it. The '17 marathon did not have the run around the speedway, but it was made up by adding an approximately 1/4 mile leg each way down Western Way, which is right before AK, which, as JeffW said, is the water treatment plant. There's also been more course inside WWOS, which looks fairly dull.
Isn't WWOS where quite a few people got caught cutting the course?
Unfortunately it seems the slower I go, the more likely I'll cramp. I have been forcing myself to train at slower speeds since this will be the first time I've ever ran a half and a full on back-to-back days. I've done half marathons in consecutive weekends and PR'd them both, but never anything like this. I also have a tendency to train too fast, but I'll most likely be in corral A or B which would put me coming through AK (if it's still around mile 14 or 15 like I remembered it being) just under 2 hours into the race so it'll just be daylight. I may be way off on my times, but that's how I remembered the course and comparing to corral start times in the past.
