Describe your race day.

It was very exciting since it was my first marathon, I had run a few halfs so I was new to the full, the organization couldn't be better, my only complaint would be why to park the shutyles so far from the finish line? We already ran a lot so that was not ok
Did you PR?

It was my first so anything could be a pr, but my goal was under 4 hours which I did
How would you describe the course?

AMAZING! The views, the road, the aid stations, water stations 5 stars guys, way to go
Tell us about your training.

I am currently training for 4 Triathlons so it was challenging to mix and include the long runs along with biking and swimming but I follow a very strict training regimen that keeps me working constantly
What advice would you give future runners?

Do not underestimate the distance because is downhill! 26.2 miles are still 26.2 miles and train for it, incorrect landing will hurt your knees and hips. Staying healthy should always be ypur number 1 priority
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Recovery was very important so I just decided to hydrate and cheer my fellow runners at the finish line! Couldn't be happier to do so
