Describe your race day.

organization and staff were fabulous
weather ruined it and you cannot control that
but why did you have that awful, unexpected hill on the last mile?? you did not last yesr
Did you PR?

yeah but wanted 20 minutes faster
How would you describe the course?

easy half, miserable hilly course between 15-20 miles especially when it is 70 degrees.
last mile at 75 degress was torture
Tell us about your training.

ran 20 miles of your course 5 times - I live 70 miles away
ran a hill by my house up-and-down for all regular training for 6 weeks
my training times were better than race day since I always started my Crystal Lake runs at first light and weather never reached 70....
What advice would you give future runners?

weather is crucial for a PR
train downhill a LOT
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

nothing
