Describe your race day.
Definitely wasn't well prepared for the cold at the start. I thought we'd be able to take the mylar blankets past the start line so I didn't bring a buff or a throwaway jacket. Really liked the gloves though!

Did you PR?
Marathon PR by 16 minutes

How would you describe the course?
Beautiful scenery especially in the first half of the marathon course. Disliked running on the shoulder from miles 23-25 - too much traffic. Found the grade to be more gentle than I expected which was really nice. Good course support. Really appreciated all the volunteers out there in the cold!

Tell us about your training.
Currently training for a 100 miler so I didn't train specifically for this race. However it was a great long run for me.

What advice would you give future runners?
My only complaint is this. It took me about 25 minutes to find my car in the lot at hospitality drive, because I wasn't directed to park anywhere near where the buses picked us up, and in the dark I had no idea where I was in relation to the buses in order to find my way back there after the race. I was on one of the earlier buses to the marathon start, and when I did walk up to board the bus, there was plenty of parking closer to the buses. I'd suggest more volunteers in the parking area to ensure that people drive and park closer to where the buses load so that it's easier to find the car after the race.

What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I live about 15 minutes away from the parking area so I went home after seeing some of my friends at the finish.
