Describe your race day.

First half. Beautiful scenery. Perfect weather. Very organized. Aid stations awesome. No complaints! Great day!
Did you PR?

First race but I was very happy with my results.
How would you describe the course?

Parts of it were pretty steep but very beautiful. We are from TX so it was hard to train for the hills, but actually didn't botger me too much. Pretty sore but I expected that.
Tell us about your training.

Just did a lot of walking /running. Started early, took it easy 3 days before race. Ate a light but filling meal the night before. Again, it was my first one so I'm just learning.
What advice would you give future runners?

We drove. Probably fly next time. Check out all the cool gadgets at the EXPO. I got some awesome things. Don't wear, eat or adjust your normal routine. 'If it ain't broke , don't fix it'.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

We drove from TX. We have kids and friends here, so we hung out with them.
