Describe your race day.
We weren't sure how the day was going to go, it was a very early morning. We got up about 3AM to get ready/board our bus. No issues parking or boarding our bus. Start of race smooth. Lots of great volunteers cheering. Lots of photos being taken. Course was gorgeous, after party was great. Loved it! Our bus back to the parking lot was held up by traffic, but we just walked about a mile to the car. No big deal. People who didn't want to walk obviously had the option to just wait on a bus. Not much you can do to help that! :) Had a great time. Very well organized! Great job! Thank you so much!

Did you PR?
I did PR, but it was my first half marathon :) Seemed like it flew by! Fast course

How would you describe the course?
Absolutely beautiful

Tell us about your training.
I probably could have done more hill training. I ran 13 miles a couple of weeks prior to the race to "prove to myself that I could do it" so race day wasn't so intimidating.

What advice would you give future runners?
I was surprised at packet pick up that there were gloves and the blanket in the packets. I took my blanket to the waiting area before the race. I had only a tank and shorts. I didn't suspect I would need it, but I was so glad to have it!

What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Came in Saturday from Longmont,CO. Stayed at the Golden Hampton Inn. We ate at an Italian restaurant called Abrusci's in Wheat Ridge (only 10 or so minutes from our hotel). Went to bed about 8PM (due to the early bus loading). After the race, we enjoyed a brew in the beer tent and then walked to our car & went to Woody's Pizza in Golden. Downtown Golden was really cute, lots of restaurant options!
