Describe your race day.
The race started great. I had a great pace going through mile 19 until the 4 mile out and back. That killed it for me. It was far too hot and I hated that 4 miles. This was my 5th marathon. I felt pretty well prepared but was pretty disappointed in the last 8 miles of the course.
-
Did you PR?
No. I was on track to BQ but lost it at the out and back.
-
How would you describe the course?
Running down the canyon was fast and beautiful. It was steep but I made great time. I really didn't like running along the traffic for he last 4 miles. I was breathing exhaust the whole time.
-
Tell us about your training.
I trained hard. I'd add more downhill training and maybe some speed work.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Plan on being miserable for the last 8 miles. The fast beginning was not enough to make up for the crappy out and back.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I traveled from Eagle Mountain.
