Describe your race day.

Beautiful views, great motivational signs all along the course!
Did you PR?

Trained for a 6 hour marathon and finished in 5:34! Felt great the entire run and never hit the dreaded wall!
How would you describe the course?

The scenery was absolutely gorgeous! The downhill was gradual but fast!
Tell us about your training.

I did a lot of downhill training. Ran up hill to get to the downhill and even did some elevation training in Big Bear during our training. Followed a 16 week training program and I knew I was ready come race day!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I only live 25 miles from the bus loading area. But we did go out for a carb loading dinner the night before.
