Describe your race day.
Great race day. I did this race last year, so I do have something to compare it to. Great organization and I like the finish line location way better than last year. Super!
-
Did you PR?
No, I am slower every year. I did get my slowest half marathon ever this time.
-
How would you describe the course?
The course is great and the finish line is superb! The grade on the half marathon is not really a severe downhill, it's very comfortable.
-
Tell us about your training.
My training is not specific and there is nowhere in my area to train for a downhill race.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Dress warm for the start - it's really chilling cold. Buy a robe with a hood or other warm jacket or large blanket from the thrift store and leave it at the start. I'm assuming Revel donates this clothing back. Arrive early for the buses so you don't stress in traffic.

What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Came from Santa Clarita and stayed at one of the host hotels near Eastland mall which has many close restaurants for dining. After the race, chill out in the park adjacent.
I like this race and will do it again. I don't have any bad feelings regarding the Denver Revel I didn't get to run when the buses didn't show. Revel is still a good race and a great value for the entry fee.
I like the printed card with the time, etc that is available immediately after finishing.
