Hey everyone, I'm brand new to these forums. I just finished my first half marathon yesterday. I was wondering if anyone else ran it and what their experience was like. I know that I saw a couple of others running barefoot so I figured that I would just throw it out there to see what other's experiences were like.

As for me it was pretty brutal. I basically did not train at far enough distances or on equivalent surfaces (the roads in Santa Monica on Venice Blvd are pretty brutal in my opinion).

I wrote a bit more about my experience with the race here. Unfortunately there are no pictures so it's only interesting if you like to read.
 
Welcome, Derek!  You trained

Welcome, Derek! You trained on #6 & 7 but ran on 3 & 4. Fresca just ran the Disney 5K on stuff that looks like #4, so you're in good company. Please add your review to the Race & Trail Reviews tab at the top, so others get a heads up. Thanks.
