  2. Describe your race day.

    What a beautiful course!!! My first marathon... everything I had within me to finish .. a true learning experience

  3. Did you PR?

    well since it was my first anything except a DNF would have been a PR. Did I BQ?? ROTFLOLOLO

  4. How would you describe the course?

    The course is super fast at first. I made the mistake of thinking because we could just talk we weren't running too fast.... bad move. It's not all down hill... here are substantial uphills... but the course is fair, beautiful, and the aid stations well stocked and manned.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I was going up to 40-45 miles a week.. 4 weeks before the race I developed plantar fasciitis and that really derailed my training.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    START SLOW.. START SLOW...START SLOW.. and don't expect all down hill. ..know the up hills are coming.

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    I drove up right before and left after the race .. so nothing there

    What a beautiful course.. wonderful people volunteering at the event... and the organizational aspects were well done. This is not a walk in the park and the down hill wears on the body. I highly recommend this.
