Describe your race day.

The half was a fun run, rollers in last 3 miles were a challenge but I made it through them. The 2:10 Pacers were great. They made the race fun!
Did you PR?

No but considering the last 3 miles I'm happy w my time. I was 5 min past my usual but I am going to try for under 2 @ cottonwood and lemmon this year.
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful, shady. I prefer a steeper grade.
Tell us about your training.

Trained well for it, still pounding my feet and trying to find the right shoes, ran in Altra this time as opposed to Brooks glycerin as before. I would bank up more time at the beginning of the mt hood half course.
What advice would you give future runners?

Start in a gap of running pack so that you can bank up more time early.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Before was early! So just getting body ready...had plenty of time for bathroom visits. After I hung out at finish for an hour or so and cheered on other runners.
Traveled from Minneapolis, running three revels this year for personal goal.
