How would you describe the course?

Perfect day made it easy. No wind and sun stayed low enough until canyon exit
Tell us about your training.

I lost 16 lbs as I stopped eating most carbs and all liquor for 4.5 months. I was not fun to be around as all training and no liquor makes Brian a dull boy. Didn't miss a workout, never got sick and blew away a boston attempt in 2002 by 14 minutes
What advice would you give future runners?

Stop all alcohol for 4 months. Easy way to get lean
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Relaxed prior , cried with family after.
