  2. Describe your race day.

    Great inaugural race! Buses and waiting location for the start of the half were well handeled. A little tight space for getting in a warm up but got to stretch the legs a bit more on the short segment to the start. Terrific finish support. The volunteers went above and beyond. Kids were running ahead to get drop bags for the marathon finishers. Their kindness was very much appreciated.

  3. Did you PR?

    Surprisingly so. A 1:16 was even beyond my "what if I have a great race expectations." Not too shabby for a 50 year old. ;)

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Fast, fast, fast, and beautiful. Loved the sun coming up to the East as we dropped down the mountain.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    Incorporated downhill repeats (0.5 to 2 miles) at slightly faster than goal pace, which turned out to be race pace. The training worked well.
