Describe your race day.

After training around 40 degrees for about 3 months and a half, running in such a cold weather made the race more challenging and exciting!
Did you PR?

Yes, this is my second half marathon. The first one I did 2:20 and at this race I did 2:03! I was expecting either 2:10 or 2:15 so this was a huge accomplishment for me!
How would you describe the course?

Great view! The elevation and cold made it hard to breath but as you keep going, you get warmer and gravity becomes a very good friend.

It doesn't matter if you skip a day or two to rest! It won't mess up with your physical condition. Sometimes your brain and body need time to heal. But always go back no matter what!
