Describe your race day.

Painful! Ha!!! But really it was a great experience!
Did you PR?

Yes!!!! My last half was 2 hours and 35 minutes!!!! I got 2nd in my division...how do I obtain my 2nd place medal?
How would you describe the course?

The map is a little decieving...it shows it downhill the entire way....that was not the case...the last 4 miles were not downhill.
Tell us about your training.

I'm in XC.
What advice would you give future runners?

Dont overdress! It got hot quick running to me and I saw a lot of people taking off clothes. :) dont go out of the gate too fast.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

None. We just stayed at country inn and suites. Since they are one of the hotels you guys recommend maybe you could ask them to offer breakfast ahead of time. Previous races have provided and earlier breakfast options for runners.
