Describe your race day.

Since it was my first year doing this run, I was very nervous all the way to start time. Once the run got going I was back in my element and having fun! I was loving all the signs that were placed throughout the course - kept me entertained!
Did you PR?

Yes I did!! Was able to knock off about 30 seconds from my previous best - I know I could have gotten in faster, but being new to the course I wanted to play it somewhat safe.
How would you describe the course?

Chilly at first but after a couple miles my body was warming up. Lots of downhill with a few hills that felt a little more than just "rolling"
Tell us about your training.

Coming off of a recent half-marathon I just added on some extra hill training, and did a lot of rest prior to race time.
What advice would you give future runners?

Run the hills! It will get your legs prepped for it - and work on the downhill running to keep you from braking too much.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Mainly rested - but after that I ate and ate and ate...did I mention I ate??
