Describe your race day.

Very well done by race organizers. Nice busses for the long ride and having an indoor waiting area was the best thing ever! Even with the delayed start time I didn’t mind because I was comfortable.
Did you PR?

No, but it was my fastest marathon since 2010. I was about 12 minutes off my PR but I comfortably BQd
How would you describe the course?

Scenic and fun. I even enjoyed the climbs although they take a good 5 minutes off your race time.
Tell us about your training.

More downhill training although I did do a fair bit.
What advice would you give future runners?

Run the first 4 miles comfortably and then start racing at the pace you trained for which means you will end up about 5 minutes slower than that pace.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Came in for Lake Havasu City. We just enjoyed some restaurants, shopping, and the nice weather.
