Beautiful race today! While my finish was about 2 minutes slower than my PR from the spring, this course had more climbing than any other I’ve ever done (including full marathons)- about 4x as much as my PR 13.1 race. Also I didn’t taper and peak for this race, though I did race it full out - using it to determine my marathon pace for the Monumental in a month. I felt reasonably strong throughout and was definitely doing more passing than getting passed towards the end (following some killer hills in mile 10/11).
