Describe your race day.

I loved it all! The Revel races just make me so happy! Such a fantastic series!
Did you PR?

Yes by 3 min but 2 min shy of BQ.
How would you describe the course?

Great! Was worried about the open road but it was not an issue and I felt safe the entire time. Wish the grade would have been the entire way. Lol. Most amazing views!
Tell us about your training.

After 6 Revels I feel confident that I know how to train for these courses. I do a lot of downhill running and downhill sprints!
What advice would you give future runners?

You must train your downhill muscles!!!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Oregon Trail center. Drove the course. Drove to Cannon Beach after the race! My sister and I came from Phoenix and my mom joined us from Nebraska!
