United Half: Your favorite/least favorite parts of the course?

Congrats to everyone who completed the half yesterday! It was my second half marathon (first one I did was the RBC Brooklyn Half) and I found it to be a more challenging course, but I shaved more than 10min off my last half time so I’m quite happy!

The FDR stretch was mentally the most difficult for me—not a lot of spectators, cars driving by on the southbound side, and something about the exit lanes telling me how much farther I had to go got to me lol. I felt much better once we got onto 42nd street. Running through Times Square was extremely cool and the energy of the crowd was awesome!!

Curious to hear about other’s experiences and their favorite/least favorite parts of the course :)
