This was an amazing race! My goal was to get under 2 hours. Started with the 2:00 pace group just to make sure I was close. Started pulling away from them about mile 4. There were a few hills but I kicked butt on those because I am at sea level. I was passing people like crazy! I kept waiting to feel like I was going to crash because I was maintaing a much faster pace than normal (about 8:35-8:50) but I felt great the entire race. My overall pace was 8:42 min/mile. I'm pretty sure my last half was faster than the first but I'm not positive about that. It was a great race with beautiful scenery, great support, and awesome energy! I loved it! 1:54:03 is a 6 minute pr for me!

nice job, and a great time! I am thinking of doing the marathon next year. It looks fun but those hills do look scary.
