Describe your race day.
The weather was awesome! The pickup was great and porta potties at race start were adequate! Great volunteers along the course!
-
Did you PR?
Yes. By 5 minutes and I did qualify for Boston by 2 minutes at 3:52.
-
How would you describe the course?
The course was a little more hilly than I expected and wide open with no shade from mile 18 on. But was very downhill as described and the aid stations were great especially at the end at 23, 25 & finish.

Tell us about your training.
I ran the Revel Big Cottonwood so I trained with lots of downhill. I trained with speed work as well. I was prepared.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Train well with down hill and hills. Wear sweats and long sleeve you can throw on the course for the chilly temps at the start.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I grew up in Denver so I visit family when I'm there.
The shirts ran small so I had paid extra for an extra small (I bought an extra small at the Big Cottonwood and it fit...) and it was too small so I tried to exchange for a small long sleeve and they didn't have any so I paid extra for a long sleeve and had to get a short sleeve. :-(
