Describe your race day.

Awesome!!! From the 3am wake up call to the shuttles to the race it was all part of a beautiful day! This was the most organized race I've had the pleasure of participating in all the while earning a half marathon PR!!
Did you PR?

Yes by 10 minutes - half marathon
How would you describe the course?

The scenery was unbelievable....sheer cliffs and sparking river made it perfect and memorable! The race profile beforehand had me worried as it appeared there wasn't much downhill in the half but that was incorrect.
Tell us about your training.

I didn't train specifically for a downhill.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

We are at Abruscci's in Wheat Ridge the night before and it was delicious. Hit up downtown Golden post race for some cold beers! We came from Longmont Colorado.
