Describe your race day.

Fun, beautiful, sore, entertaining, and peaceful! The most memorable part was crossing the finish line after completing the whole marathon with my friend that I've had for almost 50 years!
Did you PR?

No, but I didn't train for a PR and I wasn't trying for a PR!
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful and hilly!
Tell us about your training.

From Lincoln, Nebraska, so pretty flat and low altitude! My legs were/are very sore! They are not usually this sore after a long run. Train well before this race or you will pay the price!
What advice would you give future runners?

Go to Colorado early if you are not use to higher altitudes!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I've been to Colorado many times so I just hung out with my friend that lives there.
