Describe your race day.

Perfect day with weather. Very well organized. Most beautiful course. Proud to show case my state. Loved that many runners took the time to take scenery pictures.

Most memorable for me is beating my 'projected' time by an hour! And that I ran way more than I expected to...thought I would walk most of the way.
Did you PR?

Only have done 3 in my life...one when I was 45 and another when I was 57. I haven't done one for 10 years. Don't remember my PR's for any of them. My goal is always just to enjoy the experience and finish.
How would you describe the course?

Can't imagine a more beautiful and impressive setting. The scenery alone would inspire anyone to complete either race. Perfect location. Elevation never bothered me...grade was tough at times but not undoable.
Tell us about your training.

Being aerobically fit really helped. I overdid my walking. Was much better on my 67 year old body when I cross trained with some bike and elliptical.

A friend in PT taught my husband how to tape my one bothersome foot and that really worked.
What advice would you give future runners?

I don't think I am qualified to do this...just enjoy 'the ride'.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live in Golden...so traveled about 5 miles. Everything in Colorado and the area is worth doing but I am biased. Thanks for having it in our amazing state and choosing a perfect location.
