Zeitgeist Half Marathon in Boise, Idaho
Feld Thoughts

The course is hilly – a long two mile hile at mile 2 and then a one mile hile at mile 8. But following each hill was a corresponding downhill so that evened things out. The most awesome thing about a half marathon is at 13 miles you only have 0.1 mile left, not 13.2 miles.
