Describe your race day.
Overall, a really fun day. Parking and transportation were easy. The bus ride to the start was fun (I made a new friend), and the course was very scenic.
-
Did you PR?
No. Not even close! I didn't qualify for Boston either.
I was well on pace to do both, but the heat finally got to me. I missed qualifying for Boston by 5 minutes, but lost 15 minutes in the last 3 miles. :( -
How would you describe the course?
The first 4 miles were much harder than I expected. Some of this was probably due to the elevation. I was concerned about the downhill being too steep for me. But it wasn't. I never felt like I was putting on the brakes. And the scenery was amazing!
-
Tell us about your training.
I don't train :)
I run and then jump into races. I'm never out of shape, but I don't target specific races and try to be at peak for them. -
What advice would you give future runners?
Head to Tuscon a few days early and explore. It's a great area!
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I hung out in the shade with other runners. I got a slice of pizza and some pie, but I wasn't really in the mood for either.
I came in from Albany, NY specifically for the race.
I hope to be able to come out and do this race again next year!
