Describe your race day.

i was so nervous at first because it was my first full but it was awesome and so worth the nerves!!!!
Did you PR?

I would say I did even tho it was my first.
How would you describe the course?

awesome!! I loved the view and it was very easy to follow. the aid stations were in the perfect spots!
Tell us about your training.

I trained perfectly! I only went as high as 20 miles and that didn't hurt me at all. I also only ran as high as 5 miles during the week and left the long runs for the weekend.
What advice would you give future runners?

in the morning if your worried about what to wear...it is chilly, make sure you wear pants over your shorts and a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt. you can always put them in the penskye trucks for retrieval at the end. that is what I did.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I came from riverton, wy and we didn't do much. I make sure and save my legs for the race!!
