Describe your race day.

Having the shuttle from Sheraton was so comforting and easy! The race logistics were fantastic and the course was absolutely beautiful. The weather was perfect, too! The aid stations were extremely well ran and I loved having all the opportunities to get what my body needed.
Did you PR?

Yes! Technically, it was my first marathon! So I'll take it! I didn't qualify but definitely wasn't aiming for that.
How would you describe the course?

Perfect!
Tell us about your training.

I trained for this specific race starting in January and did up to 20 miles about 5 weeks before. I live in Coloraod Springs so altitude was not an issue and I tried to incorporate downhill running.
What advice would you give future runners?

Do this race!! I can't wait to try for a new PR next year. This might be the only marathon I do!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

We went to 16th street mall in Denver after the race to relax and walk around. We would have loved a bigger Expo the day before.
