Describe your race day.

It was a beautiful day. Me and my friend came up early in the morning to pick up our race packages. It was nice and easy. At the start area it was cold but very addictive nice surroundings. The start of the race was also very smooth. All the energy gel was gone by the time us marathoners came to the water stations!! It must have been taken by the half marathon runners. That's the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5.
Did you PR?

Yes I PR! Well, I PR with 4 minutes but that was compared to 25 yeas ago!!! If I compare my resent times I PR with 10 minutes. I qualified for Boston with 26 minutes to spare. I am very happy.
How would you describe the course?

I was surprised about the quit long up hills at the second half of the marathon. It didn't really show up on the map that was showed on the website. But no complaints it was a nice change from all the downhill during the first part of the marathon
