Describe your race day.

I loved how beautiful the race was. It was very well organized, and almost all the logistics were in order. I just had a lot of fun and will be back!
I thought that having some heaters at the start would have been a really good idea.
The post race treats needs some SERIOUS improvement. Although overall it was ok, some chocolate milk helps recover so much and not having it was very disappointment. Also, some ice cream sandwiches are really nice at the end of a race, just saying.
Did you PR?

No, but that is ok. I didn't try. This race was about helping my wife to PR, which she did!
How would you describe the course?

I didn't plan on any hills, so that caught me off guard a little, but they were not too bad. Down hill was good, not too steep.
Tell us about your training.

Just lots of running and some downhill training.
What advice would you give future runners?

Don't leave off the uphill training it will help! Bring some warm clothes that you are ok with not getting back so you can ditch on the way.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Great experience, great race, with some great friends. Can't wait until next year.
