Describe your race day.
The day was well organized. The buses departed timely, and the volunteers were on top of it making sure people didn't get on the wrong buses. The race didn't have any recycle bins, just trash cans which was unfortunate.
-
Did you PR?
Set a PR by 14 minutes on the half marathon! I wanted to break 2:00, and I came in at 1:56:10. It was awesome!
-
How would you describe the course?
The course was fast. The street is sloped on the downhill, so one side of your body takes a beating with each turn. The scenery is great! Can't beat Colorado mountains!
-
Tell us about your training.
I would definitely incorporate more downhill training. Otherwise, I surpassed my training time goal by 13 seconds/mile, and it was easy. I didn't train to run as fast as I did. The course helps.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Train downhill!
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I live in the area, so I didn't do anything before or after. I just ate and relaxed!
Add some recycle bins at the finish and this race gets a 5/5!
