Describe your race day.

Love this race! Race directing is right on with number of potties, aid station management, after race recovery, awesome shirt, etc.
The only thing this year that was weird, there was NO gun, or music, or person on a mega-phone for starting. Runners were still sitting on the ground up by the potties when people started running. The count-down or announcer type person is such a good idea.
Did you PR?

No, but I didn't expect to. :)
How would you describe the course?

LOVE the canyon...it's my fake trail running. (haha)
Tell us about your training.

I usually run approx. 20-30 miles/week and a handful of Half marathons a year. I need to remember to train on downhill prior.
What advice would you give future runners?

downhill training is a must for better recovery
be early, don't plan on the last bus
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

talked with friends, but nothing really
