Describe your race day.
Fast (for me)
-
Did you PR?
Yes by 5 minutes over another downhill course I ran this year.
-
How would you describe the course?
Down hill. I loved having gravity on my side.
-
Tell us about your training.
I have run several half marathons and 5 Ks this year. I haven't done as much training as I'd like due to injuries.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Practice on a steep downhill course. It's rough on the feet and I slightly sprained an ankle by the time I finished. Training specific to the course may help them avoid injury.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Slept in my van a block from the finish line the night before and I've never slept better on race night knowing I was already there and ready to go. I got more sleep than I've ever had prior to a big race. I came from Orem. Awesome race. Great support and volunteers. I'll be back next yer.
One suggestion- Someone with a bullhorn at the start line area or an emcee to keep people posted about the race.
Sorry, already listed my one suggestion above. This is a great race. I was impressed.
