Describe your race day.

I thought the race was very good. Wish we could have heard the announcements at the start over an loud speaker. There were some who did not hear anything, while at the porta potties. Other than that, I thought it was well organized.
Did you PR?

Yes, by 9:38 over last years Big Cottonwood half.
How would you describe the course?

The course is beautiful, and my second favorite after the Ogden Marathon.
Tell us about your training.

I trained a lot of hills, so this year I was less sore and able to PR.
What advice would you give future runners?

Build up your quads. Run hills. I wore my pj bottoms while waiting for it to start. That kept me warm. The gloves and blanket are a nice touch given by BCW.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live in Ogden, so just hung around with friends.
