Describe your race day.
Early start with a slow bus ride up the highway to the start where it was quite cold and the complimentary gloves and mylar blankets were put to good use. Plenty of porta potties though and refreshments and great volunteers. Water stops were perfectly placed/spaced throughout the course with fantastic volunteers.
-
Did you PR?
Set a Personal Record by nine minutes and qualified for Boston!
-
How would you describe the course?
Beautiful course that is mostly downhill with a couple of inclines.
-
Tell us about your training.
Trained six days a week with hill training, 800 repeats, easy runs, tempo runs, pace runs, and long runs with peak mileage a little over 50 miles per week.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Do some downhill runs that are similar to the first part of the course if possible. Try to take it easy for the first half and stay light on your feet as you will need the energy saved in the first half in the second half.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Relaxed before the race and enjoyed a great party atmosphere after the race with refreshments and live music.
Best organized race with the best volunteers!
