Describe your race day.
The race was so well organized and smooth that my morning was quite pleasant for being so early. I enjoyed the course and the signs Revel put out along the way were great! I felt every potential need was anticipated and that made the race that much more enjoyable. I had forgotten to put my headphones in my bag and then forgot to take my inhaler (!) before putting my bag in the trailer- both of which made me a little upset at the start. I ended up being fine on both accounts and actually enjoyed running without my headphones as the scenery was so pleasant.

Did you PR?
It was my first half marathon, but I was able to run it quite a bit faster than I had been running in training. According to my app (Strava) I set a PR in 1 mile, 2 mile, 5K, 10K, 15K & 10 miles so I would say yes :)

How would you describe the course?
Beautiful and serene. It was hard to get bored in such a great place. It helped that the weather was overcast and perfect! A great course for my first race. I'm very sore though and can tell that the downhill worked different muscles than I used during training.

Tell us about your training.
This was my first time training for a race so part of it was just spent figuring things out. I think the only thing I would change is training more on pavement. I trained mostly on trails in parks, but would maybe pick a couple of runs to do on paved roads to see how it felt.

What advice would you give future runners?
I live in Denver so getting to the course was pretty easy, but I would say for those traveling to do this race to stay close by Morrison. It's an early morning and very dark trying to navigate getting to the shuttles so the closer they are the better I imagine getting there would be.

What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I'm a local so we didn't hang out much after the race.
