Describe your race day.

Fantastic weather. Very organized. I was thrilled to see us boarding a shuttle to the start line with no issues. The run itself was gorgeous. I found myself gazing at the stream, wondering where I could fish.
Getting back to my car was super easy. This is my new favorite 1/2 Marathon!
Did you PR?

Yes, but only by two minutes.
How would you describe the course?

Gorgeous scenery. Grade was definitely manageable. What we struggled with was the pitch of the roads on the turns. We definitely felt that in our ankles and balls of our feet. Elevation was no problem at all.
Tell us about your training.

I had short runs 2x week and a long run on Sundays. Definitely incorporate some downhill in your trainings. For four weeks all my short runs were downhill.
What advice would you give future runners?

Definitely incorporate some downhill in your trainings.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Nothing on race day but we are going back to Morrison for Fathers Day breakfast because we were reminded what a cool town Morrison is.
