Describe your race day.

Early morning but the event was well organized and well ran. Buses where waiting and staff gave good instructions, after a cold wait the race started and was amazing. Nice views and extremely fast, PR by10 minutes. Looking forward to next year but will do a little more downhill training, my hips are sore but a small price to pay for my first sub 2 half.
Did you PR?

Yes, by 10 minutes.
How would you describe the course?

Fast!
Tell us about your training.

I've ran several half's but am currently training slow long runs for a full. I felt unprepared for a fast race but still PR'd.
What advice would you give future runners?

Train for downhills and keep an eye on the weather, even with sweatpants and a sweatshirt it was cold waiting for the start. Perfect weather for running though.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live here so nothing too different from my normal routine.
