Thanks! The route was a mix of paved roads and paved trails around Lake Monona (Madison, WI). I picked it for my first really big race because it's pretty flat. There are some undeniable hills, but they aren't big or steep. It's a nice course and was well supported.

I'm signed up for the Madison Spring Half Marathon in a couple weeks, and that has a few decent hills on it. That will be a harder run. Then I'm taking it easy for a while. The half marathon is a personal goal, but after that (regardless of whether I finish) I'm taking it down a notch. I'll stick with 5-10Ks for the rest of the summer.
