Describe your race day.

Too much time at the start line with the shuttles. With it being cold, it would have been nice to have the long wait time mentioned during all the emails that were sent (which were greatly appreciated!)
Did you PR?

I didn't PR, just missed it by 2 min but I stopped to take pics along the way. Without the pictures, I would have PR'd
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful! Only suggestion would be to shorten the run into town and start further in the canyon. All the car fumes started to get to me
Tell us about your training.

I don't really train. I run halfs every couple of months so I maintain my pace.
What advice would you give future runners?

Wear warm layers in the morning due to the long wait time at the start
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I drove the course the day before (which I normally don't do) but was able to stop and take pictures of the area. Stopped by the Great Salt Lake before heading to airport and that was somewhat of a disappointment. Didn't have much time in SLC to do much more
