Describe your race day.
What a perfect race! The weather conditions couldn't have been better and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. Those downhills made for a fast race! I loved it!
-
Did you PR?
YES! I PR'd by 17 minutes and beat my goal of 3:30 by 7 minutes! Boston, here I come!

How would you describe the course?
Gorgeous scenery and incredibly fast course! There were a few slight uphills, but all of them were followed by immediate downhills which helped a lot with recovery. The last 5 or so miles were incredibly fast.
-
Tell us about your training.
I probably would have done a bit more downhill training, but overall I feel that I trained well. I would definitely advise people training for this race to not ignore UPHILL training as well. I did quite a bit of uphill training and that helped me with the occasional hills.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Don't start out too fast on this course - it's hard to reign it in at the beginning since it starts at such a steep decline. But I saw many runners go out to fast and bonk toward the end.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I live in Denver, so I didn't hang out in the area very long before or after the race.
I will definitely be back next year! Loved this course!
