Describe your race day.

Ran last year so I knew what to expect. Ran as hard as I could for the first 15miles & tried to take advantage of the downhill
Did you PR?

No but ran my best time of 2015. 4 minutes faster than St George. Improved my BQtime also.
How would you describe the course?

Similar to Boston in that first 13 miles downhill, uphill from 16-21, then down again. Of course the downhill are steeper than Boston and the uphill are shorter.
Tell us about your training.

I run 14 miles 3 days a week, 6-8 miles 3 days a week & bike >200miles a week. I run a marathon every 4-6 weeks.
What advice would you give future runners?

Train on hills. Wear warm clothing to the start. Wear Hokas.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Left Carlsbad after noon swim. 2.5 hrs to drive 95 miles. Ugh! Salad & Menchies FroYo for dinner.
