Describe your race day.

Great experience. This is a trail marathon on the asphalt. For 23 miles of 26.2, you are running in the mountains. The route has the same features as Boston, with the first half downhill and the second half of hills.
Did you PR?

Yes. I bested the last pr by over 10 minutes
(Tucson marathon 2011, 3:11;07). Today with 3:00:56:48, I won the age group (55-59).
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful and breathtaking

What advice would you give future runners?

You have to try the real course as much as you could so that your body and mind would know every turn and change in elevation
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Warm up and focusing on how to start at the beginning and enjoy the beer at the finish to celebrate your victory
