Describe your race day.

Race day was great . We were well informed prior to race day, so we had all our essentials to prepare us. The volunteers and local law enforcement were amazing . Time management was on point. I was especially impressed by bag drop and pick up . A task that normally takes Forever and unorganized was smooth and quick. Also loved my name being announced as I crossed the finish line
Course was beautiful !
Did you PR?

I PR my 10k time by 20 minutes and same with my Half. This was my first full marathon so easy PR there. I did not BQ but I did not go in expecting to do so
How would you describe the course?

Fast at first then the battle up some hills . Very scenic and great weather unless you were still running in late afternoon then it was fairly warm.
Tell us about your training.

My training was not consistent and I missed most of my long runs. I went in only having run 14 miles, so I am pretty happy with my results considering . Advice know there are at least 3 inclines and don't go gunning it with out being aware of the incline
What advice would you give future runners?

Get your long runs in and run some of the course prior
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Before meet up with friends and after taking pics ,party was closing shop when I finished which was a boomer so make sure you finish before end mark to enjoy the festivities
