  2. Describe your race day.

    A fast and beautiful course helped me to beat by goal time.

  3. Did you PR?

    PR by 40 minutes
    BQ

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Very beautiful course. Evergreen parkway was a little hillier than expected, but otherwise perfect.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    Lots of training miles. Started with a base of 50mi/wk and worked up to 75mi/wk. I also included eccentric strengthening of quads, calves, and hamstrings to prepare for the extended downhill running.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Start easy. It is very easy to get carried away with an all downhill course and think that you'll be able to maintain a good pace for the whole race. The distance still needs to be respected.

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    I live in the area.

    More toilets are needed at the start line. Setting bag drop at 15 minutes before race time was also a bit too much.
