Describe your race day.
It was a great race day. Lucky enough to have perfect weather. Coming down the marathon course, and overlooking the valley where we sat above the clouds was spectacular.
-
Did you PR?
Yes, I PR’d on the full by over 17 minutes, despite some aches and pains.
-
How would you describe the course?
The scenery was amongst the most beautiful I’ve enjoyed. The elevation was pretty nice.
-
Tell us about your training.
The training worked well. I took the Revel Advanced. Due to a very hot California summer, it was pretty tough. I didn’t complete all the training as prescribed. Still, I think it helped me perform well on this downhill course.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Do find a way to prepare for the downhills. It helps over 26 miles.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I live fairly local, so not applicable.
I fully enjoyed this marathon. This was my 4th full.
