Describe your race day.

Race was challenging but I loved it! Aide stations were great. Everything was organized and started on time. It was a great experience!
Did you PR?

Yes! 21 minute PR!
How would you describe the course?

Challenging!! Those uphills were difficult and the downhill was hard. By mile 20 my body was struggling. The only real negative was the curry last mile. :) but it was a beautiful race!!

Practice your downhill. Prepare to take recovery very seriously! Downhill Running is no joke!

I ate a donut. :)
