Took a tour of the course. It was awesome! It has a lot of downhill and I trained for some downhill but not lots of downhill. Hope my legs are ready for it. The advice I heard most was take it easy going out. You'll be tempted to go out too fast because of the gradual downhill. Save your legs for the hills and after heart break hill pour it on (Ha! If there's anything left!) Well, tomorrow is race day...predicted temp race start is 50 and end is 60. I can handle that! My running goal is to break 4 hours, but if I don't it really doesn't matter. I just want to enjoy the run and soak up the experience.
