Describe your race day.

Amazing experience. Loved the course!!!
Did you PR?

Yes!! I did the colfax last year and got 1:58 and today I got a 1:46!! Last year was my first half marathon after being overweight and I've been running since so I attribute some of those pr minutes to that but I think I would have PR'd anyways.
How would you describe the course?

Scenery, grade, elevation were all perfect!
Tell us about your training.

I didn't do enough down hill work but my knees and body felt ok. I would not really change my 3 month plan. I ran 1p miles of the course the week before for my 10 mile long run and it really helped to know the course.
What advice would you give future runners?

Don't plan for negative splits even though you still can. Plan to run right under your red line. Charge the last 3 miles.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I loved taking pictures and enjoying my race beer afterwards.
