Today we
previewed the Half Marathon course, driving all the way from Kitty Hawk Woods Road down to Old Nags Head
Woods Road, the unpaved end of the course from from Mile 10 to Mile 12.5:
It is pocked with potholes and, more of a concern, patched in places with rough gravel which will provide difficult to maneuver.
Then we parked and walked the final half-mile over the sand dunes
on the mulch path, and the final dizzying descent down off that big dune into
the parking lot of the YMCA. We could
not decide whether it was a help to remember this part of the course, which I
have run now six times including the full marathons, or merely intimidating. But I think in retrospect it will prove a help.
It is always good to be reminded of the challenges which lie ahead.
