Describe your race day.

From the organized 5am pick-up through the amazing course support to the awesome after-party, this has become my new favorite local race. The course is beautiful. I then like to celebrate my hard work with some great food, beverages, and swag.
Did you PR?

Yes, I did PR in the half, and I really didn't train! Wait until next year when I put in some effort.
How would you describe the course?

The course is FAST with not just downhill, but down-mountain grades. The run meandered through the foothills of the Rockies with great views of the mountains and Creek.
Tell us about your training.

Fairly non-existent with running as for the weekly mileage, just random runs. I was only cross-training with boot camps and weights.
What advice would you give future runners?

Out-of-towners should stay near Golden.
Prepare dress for extremes as it starts in the mountains and can be cool or hot. As always, you will shed as you start running, and this race weather was perfect conditions. Dine in Morrison.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live here, so I hung out with friends and had a team Pre-Race carbo-loading dinner.
