I've only done one relay, but it was a much smaller race, and definitely not anywhere near as well organized; I didn't get a medal as the first leg runner, although I'm sure if I'd asked for one I could have gotten one.

When I did the marathon a few years ago I ran way too fast during that downhill portion and ended up hitting the wall later. Glad the logistics worked out and you guys had fun!
