  2. Describe your race day.

    Completely unexpected, but very excited to snag my BQ.

  3. Did you PR?

    Not this time, Mt. Charleston still holds that.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    The best road marathon a trail runner could ask for.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I had a botched training cycle due to shin splints, but still managed to be able to rely on muscles memory from about two solid years of 50 mile weeks which always include speed, tempo, and mountain runs.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    As in any race, don’t go out too fast! Keep meals to what your familiar with. THANK EVERY volunteer, they don’t have to be there!

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    Coming from San Diego, I was most excited to see PNW greenery! Shakeout and post-race runs on gorgeous trail we’re the stuff of dreams!
