for my first marathon. My
primary motivator was to,

Since I was training in Fort
Collins, Colorado with an altitude of
nearly a mile high above sea level,
I naturally selected a marathon
race that took place at sea
level—because, who doesn’t like
a competitive edge? Throughout
my training, I was continually
faced with the reality that small,
incremental improvements
and technique changes made a
difference in my performance.
From diet changes, to small sleep
adjustments, to increasing my pace
just a fraction all made an impact
on my bottom line as a runner.
