Describe your race day.

Being with all those runners up on the mountains anxiously waiting for the start of the race made my morning, then running through the beautiful scenery made the run pleasant and a breathtaking experience.
Did you PR?

I wasn't going for a PR this was my first Marathon ever the goal was to finish it, and I did! Best feeling ever!
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful, natural, great alone time... The first half all downhill, last half ouch!
Tell us about your training.

75%of my training was done in a treadmill--bad idea...the other 25% outdoors. I would definitely train differently the next time I decide to do this..and train in a downhill course, A LOT!
What advice would you give future runners?

Pace yourself.. The first half of the course hours pretty fast and you can burn out pretty quick if you don't pace yourself..
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I'm kind of local, so I was here for the race and then back to go rest..
