Describe your race day.

Best marathon race ever! My 3rd race and enjoy every aspect of it. From the planning, organization, execution, support, over-all experience. Stress-free race and beautiful routes. Please bring it back next year!
Did you PR?

I did PR by 6 minutes. Did not BQ cause the times changed recently. But I had an amazing time.
How would you describe the course?

Scenic, espectacular, super fast!!
Tell us about your training.

I had a mediocre training to be honest. I had a few downhill sessions but not consistent. I will kill this next year.
What advice would you give future runners?

Train, train, and train down hills. Race is very well supported. No need to bring extra fuel/water. Tie you shoes from the top to prevent sliding forward and loosing nails.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Food, support, cold towels, medal, pictures!
