Describe your race day.

I followed the suggestion from the coach at the Expo. saying do not slow down unless you feel uncomfortable. It was successful and I PRed by about 30 min.
Did you PR?

I PRed by about 30 min. BQed with more than 20 min buffer.
How would you describe the course?

The start line was not as cold as expected. Wasn't exposed to sun until the last quarter.
Had to stay road side, felt a bit danger when pass the others.
Tell us about your training.

I didn't do any specific training for the down hill marathon.
I felt the danger of leg cramp about the half, luckily endured whole the race.
For general marathon I won't get any muscle ache, but I got it this time and couldn't recover a few days.
Maybe I used the muscle don't use in the flat course.
What advice would you give future runners?

The shuttle returns to the half marathon shuttle departure place. Might have problem if I didn't record the parking place on my cell.
