Describe your race day.

Perfect weather, perfect destination race!
Did you PR?

I set a PR by 10 minutes on Mt. Lemmon and this was my fastest marathon in several years. I did BQ by 20 minutes.
How would you describe the course?

Gorgeous and tough. You have to keep thinking throughout the entire course.
Tell us about your training.

I used the Revel training program this year. The first four miles went really well this year. I was much better about incorporating downhills into ny runs.
I still need to work on the muscle/fatigue that sets in over that last 6 miles.
What advice would you give future runners?

Be patient during the first half of the race.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

My youngest son, Benjamin and my brother in law, Barry ran the half this year. Barry lives in the area so we spent time visiting as we live in Wisconsin. It is becoming an annual pain fest.
