Describe your race day.

I loved everything about it from getting up early, to enjoying the crisp mountain air, to watching the sun start touching the mountain tops as we ran down the beautiful course.
Did you PR?

No, but I wasn't trying to. My goal was to enjoy the run with my mom, and that goal was more than accomplished. :)
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful!
Tell us about your training.

I probably would train at least a little next time. ;)
What advice would you give future runners?

Train. Stretch. Stay closer to the middle of the road where the slant isn't as bad. (That is a lot of downhill miles at to do at an angle.) KT tape is an amazing tool.
Don't forget to take in all of the scenery.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live in the valley so as soon as I finished the race I got to zoom over to my kids' soccer games.
