Describe your race day.

Seeing sea of excited faces with their mylar sheet wrapped around their bodies was the most memorable for me. There was a bit of a traffic jam entering the carpark; but I think it's part of the excitement.
Did you PR?

Yes, I PR'd. 10 minutes off my last best half-marathon. I am not a competitive runner, so I was very happy with my 2:10 result.
How would you describe the course?

It's mostly downhill with some manageable uphill. Fast course with beautiful sceneries. Crisp and cool up until the 10 mile half marathon mark.
Tell us about your training.

I did a lot of downhill training in my area. I think that helped me a lot during and after the race. My recovery was quick.
What advice would you give future runners?

Dress in layers, it's cold at the start line.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I stayed overnight in a hotel and had pasta dinner at a wonderful Italian restaurant called Vincenzo's Terrazo Restoranti the night before the race.
