Describe your race day.

Excellent organized event at the start, easy and relaxed with plenty of bathrooms!
Great course and well marshaled where it was needed.
Bag pick up was a mess. The bags hadn't been sorted into numbers when we arrived and it took us a long while to find our bags.
Did you PR?

Not today but I didn't expect to. I'd had a chest infection 2 weeks prior. I was very very pleased with the time I did.
My friend PR'd by 7 mins
How would you describe the course?

Course is beautiful. The half is not as downhill as people believe. It was lumpy in places.
Tell us about your training.

It was steady until I got sick 3 weeks out. Prepare with some downhill gradient so you know how your legs will feel.
What advice would you give future runners?

Be prepared for some little Inclines. Once you reach mile 10 the flat will feel tough
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

We stayed over the night before, the only place to eat really was Hooters - not everyone's idea of night before prep but it worked for us :)
