Describe your race day.

The shuttle busses were very nice and the start holding area was nice and spacious. The weather turned out great. I was really wonderful that we were given gloves, hats, and mylar blankets. That was a nice touch.
Note: The start was confusing. The pacers were all at the front. There was not enough time from when we walked to the start area and when we started. There was no announcement, no National Anthem, nothing to indicate we were going. We were all surprised that we started.
Did you PR?

Yes I did!
How would you describe the course?

The course was beautiful, the hill grad was nice and steady.
Tell us about your training.

I did an 18 week plan running 4 times a week. I did not train on hills so I am very sore.
What advice would you give future runners?

Trust your training.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Nothing. The finish shoot was too short. Didn't give runners enough time to cool down before they had to leave the area. Some were to cool down and then come back for a slice of pie but were not aloud to repenter the area. The band was nice. I am local.
