Describe your race day.
It was such a fun race! My favorite memory was just running in the beautiful scenery and my body feeling so good with the abundance of water, power aide, and gel as I ran the nice gradual downhill course! It was wonderful and my best feeling run of my training.

Did you PR?
This was my first half marathon so by default I was always going to PR. I did have a negative spilt which is great and it was lower than any of my training times by :40 seconds/minute.

How would you describe the course?
Stunning! It was so great! The rolling hills the first mile were nice and set me up for a good place so I didn't blow out doing all downhill. The rest was so nice with the downhill. Several times I felt like I was just gliding along because of the ease of it!

Tell us about your training.
I used My ASICS running ap and started training in March. Prior to that I would barely run a mile on the treadmill. The ap was great and made me feel so prepared for the race. Especially because it trains you to start slow and finish fast, so you don't blow out. I highly recommend it!
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Dress warm for the start! We got up to the start line an hour before the race via the shuttle and it was cold! I wished I had put sweat pants over my running shorts to keep my legs warm until the start.

What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
We drove the course the night before and it was beautiful! After the race we ate brunch downtown Morrison which was nice!
