Describe your race day.

The race event was well organized! It was a cold and clear morning. The race was fast!!
Did you PR?

Yes. I set a PR by 30 minutes and qualified for Boston.
How would you describe the course?

Fast, the first 13 miles has a much steeper grade. The last 10 was gradual decline and the final three had a gradual incline.
Tell us about your training.

I didn't have the opportunity to train hills. I did a lot of lunges, quad work before. I neglected my calves during my gym days and it is evident in my post race recovery!
What advice would you give future runners?

Do it! Don't let the cold weather fool you, it warms up by mile 2 or 3.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

We ate good food and enjoyed the sun
