I'm so glad you found this helpful...Hi Theresa,<br />I'm so glad you found this helpful! <br /><br />I don't know that it's necessary to drive or walk the course, but when we picked up our packets at the Hipodromo, which is the same location as the start and finish, it was helpful to know there was a hill right at the end and to save some energy for that. <br /><br />As for the elevation, I followed the advice of a coworker who runs. He told me to just take it easy and see how I feel. I did that; I started really slow and picked up the pace as my body allowed. I felt fine until after I ran. I wolfed down two pieces of pizza and felt pretty nauseous afterwards. If I could do it all over, I would maybe skip the pizza. <br /><br />It was a really fun race overall and Mexico City has so much to explore. Enjoy!

It will be my 4th half marathon (and my friends first O_o), so I'm not concerned about the distance so much as the climate differences. Do you have any suggestions on things you wish you would've known? Would you recommend walking or at least driving the course to see what it's like? Your write up was super helpful!theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129344553065645226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777467649876166745.post-19704611486694038942015-04-23T11:11:00.651-07:002015-04-23T11:11:00.651-07:00Very cool!!

I lived in Colorado for 4 years and we lived at 7,000 feet and I never adjusted to the altitude. I had to take a 4 year running hiatus because of it. LOVE the idea of the charging station!! I saw several of those challenge racers when I ran RnR DC, sound like fun!Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17572556245744093363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777467649876166745.post-77739894833989695942015-04-23T11:10:56.904-07:002015-04-23T11:10:56.904-07:00Very cool!!
