How did the red/blue starts work? Were you assigned a specific course? Did you just get to the spilt and decide?
I've never run a race with big splits in them so I'm curious how it works.
As mentioned above, your course was based on your corral. How they chose which corrals went to which course after the start is a mystery to me. If I remember correctly, it wasn't all fast corrals on Red and slower ones on Blue. There seemed to be a good mix of speeds.
That map looks pretty much like the marathon course in 2010. I don't remember if it was the same in 2011, but I know 2010 we still had the red and blue courses, merging right around mile 3-4.
I'm pretty sure 2011 was the same. I met some new running friends shortly after the merge and saw them again during the Houston marathon a week or so later.
