  2. Describe your race day.

    The bus ride to and from the start was great—bought the hotel shuttle.

  3. Did you PR?

    No. I signed up for this race while registering for the 2019 Mt Charleston so I had less than 6 weeks to prepare.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Good. Pretty. Not too excited about runnning on the shoulder of the highway.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I’ve run 30 marathons previous to this one and I only had less than 6 weeks to prepare. One long run of 18. Mostly focused on downhill running and speed/turnover work. Felt like it helped.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Not thrilled with the No Headphones rule. I observed the rule but many people did not.

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

    From Kansas. Went to check out Multnomah Falls the day before. Voodoo Donuts after.
