Describe your race day.

Nobody from the half marathon broke the finish line tape for me. That was nice this time.
Did you PR?

No. I PR-ed by negative 4:52 which is also how close I was to it. Yes, I qualified, not that I'll run Boston.
How would you describe the course?

The scenery had trees. There was a big volcano that we never really saw since we ran away from it the whole way. The grade was really steep early, but then basically non existent near the end. Also trees.
Tell us about your training.

I run a lot, and running is stupid.
What advice would you give future runners?

There's just no good way to run this course fast. You will definitely end up with blisters, black toenails, and be incredibly sore for days. Enjoy that
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I slept. No time to be a tourist when you need to get on a bus at 3AM.
