Describe your race day.

the cool temperature and partly cloudy skies made for perfect race weather. Seeing my wife and two granddaughters at the rail about 100 yards from the finish and running by them for some quick high fives was my race highlight.
Did you PR?

i was able to set a 13 minute PR. Also BQ'd by 13 minutes.
How would you describe the course?

the course fast. the downhill grade on the first 21 miles was comfortable and not too steep.
Tell us about your training.

my training didn't deviate much. i always include hills on my long runs. i really worked on my downhill form.
What advice would you give future runners?

plan for cold temps while waiting for the start. enjoy your experience.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

i'm a local so i enjoyed talking to fellow runners from out of state before the race. i met some very nice people..
