Describe your race day.

It started with some anxiety yet the wonderful bus ride with so many other marathoners who were so open and friendly helped. The cafe in the mountains was great and the race, volunteers, layout of the turaine and most if all the beautiful scenery was spectacular!!! Lastly the finish was warm; though I finished last at 6.33 the announcer as well as the other volunteers made me feel like I was first.... Thank you!
Did you PR?

No; was not trying
How would you describe the course?

The course was very good;
Tell us about your training.

Unfortunately I had an injury in Feb which stopped my training for 8 weeks.... Also my father passed away three weeks again putting training last..
What advice would you give future runners?

Train and prepare for the marathon. It is a fgreatfast pace however it can be a challenge without proper training.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Not much; hoping to hang out at the Vegas strip tomorrow after recovering from the marathon.
