Describe your race day.

Early wake up call to get to the bus pick up at 4 am. Wish they dropped us off where they picked us up. Had to walk more than a mile to my car. I wouldn’t mind normally but I just ran a marathon! Everything hurts!
Did you PR?

Yes. 2 minutes. Boston qualified by 8:30 minutes
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful. Harder at the start of the full for the first 8-9 miles with the uphills. After that, it is downhill. Flat for the last 5k.
Tell us about your training.

Trained on downhill long runs for the last 6 weeks
What advice would you give future runners?

No need to dress too warm. They provide the foil blankets and gloves. Once you start running, you warm right up
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

None. Live locally
