Describe your race day.
Parking prior to the race was the only glitch for me. There should have been more direction in signs and a separate area for parking and those being dropped off. Otherwise it was a spectacular race. Well organized/planned.
-
Did you PR?
Yes, it was my first marathon and I made good time. I loved the inspiring signs along the way. It was extra meaningful to see my family at a random spot near mile 18. It inspired me when I was very tired.
-
How would you describe the course?
I did not qualify for the BM, and I am sad about that, but I did my best.
-
Tell us about your training.
I did my own training that I printed off from the man who prepared runners for the Disney marathons. The scenery was beautiful. I would like to go back and look at it all again when I can focus on it.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Tie your shoes tight at the beginning of the race to prevent your toes from taking such painful pounding in the front of your shoes, due to the downhill. Train for a downhill race. I did not do this and it is day 2 after and I cannot walk!
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Not much. I did this alone and before the race I was focused. After the race I was ill and just wanted to go home. I am sad that I couldn't enjoy the post race fun. I can from Highlands Ranch CO.
Thank you to all the volunteers!! And all of those cheering us on!
I am not sure if I want to run a marathon again, but if I did, I would want it to be Revel rockies
