  2. Describe your race day.

    Started with a snowy start, amazing and supportive volunteers, beautiful course and a wonderful experience for this first-time marathoner!

  3. Did you PR?

    As this was my first marathon, I did PR but did not qualify for Boston.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Fast, downhill and gorgeous!

  5. Tell us about your training.

    My training partner and I trained for a year for this-our base run is 6 miles on the trails 3 days a week with long runs one day on the weekend. For the last month, our long runs (13,15 and 21 mile runs) were run on the mountain following the course. Also did 1-2 days of cross-training (spin, swimming) once a week

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    First and foremost, have fun!! Enjoy the experience, stay close if you don't live here, and wear supportive shoes and socks. Don't eat anything new the day before the race

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    I live here :)
