Describe your race day.

Was very happy to see the Tour Buses at the start to take us up the mountain. Start location was great with lots of water and supplements. Thank you for the mylar blankets as they came in handy with the cold weather. The first half was fast and the second half was challenging. The volunteers were fabulous especially at the finish. Thank you
Did you PR?

Did not PR. Was a Boston qualifier.
How would you describe the course?

The course was technical. Having done the Denver Rockies Revel this last July, I did hold back some in the first half. The scenery was beautiful. The weather got hot.
Tell us about your training.

I train in Austin, Texas where we do have small hills to train on.
What advice would you give future runners?

Lots of down hill training.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Did not take advantage of any attractions this trip.
