Describe your race day.

Perfect running weather, amazing downhill course, & great volunteers & officers helping us along the way! Couldn't ask for a better marathon experience!
Did you PR?

Achieved PR by 2min34sec which got me a better BQ!
How would you describe the course?

Fantastic scenery, especially when we ran alongside a creek for a few miles! Amazing downhills that really helped me pick up speed, particularly at the end! Was worried about the elevation, but barely felt any effects!
What advice would you give future runners?

Got a huge blister on the bottom of my foot, probably because I like to wear my shoes a little loose--not recommended on a largely downhill course!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Came in from DC for this race & had some energy-conserving fun in downtown Denver. Tried out an escape room for the 1st time. Failed, but it was still fun!
