Describe your race day.
The race day was relatively smooth with the exception of the busing up to the start. It took over an hour for the bus to get there. Understood that it is a tough location to get so many runners to and may be the best option available. The course was beautiful.
-
Did you PR?
Yes, I PR'd by approximately 8 minutes and qualified for the Boston Marathon.
-
How would you describe the course?
The scenery is gorgeous along the course. Some of the grades are a bit steep and uneven causing a lot of damage to quad muscles, but that was to be expected. I like the mix of a few uphills to give the quads a break.
-
Tell us about your training.
I ran half the course prior to the race, and think this gave me a better idea of the terrain and surface. Otherwise, mixed treadmill and outdoor running with varying inclines and followed a typical 18-week training schedule.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Get on the bus early. Be ready to shed layers because the top is much colder than the rest of the course.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I'm from Denver, so no exciting travel experiences.
