Describe your race day.
This is such a well organized and professionally managed race on what has to be the most beautiful course in the country! Everything went so smoothly and could not have been more enjoyable!
-
Did you PR?
Yes - although my only previous half marathon was 2 1/2 years ago - and I only started running seriously a little over 10 months ago. I beat my previous PR by a little over 56 minutes!

How would you describe the course?
The scenery and downhill nature make it a really special race... Almost pain free!

Tell us about your training.
I started training about 10 months ago with the ultimate goal of finishing a marathon. Running this race was one of the intermediate goals that I set. I have done quite a few downhill runs this past summer, with several in the last month of about 10 miles. The only thing I would do differently is to be more consistent in my training... (might have to quit my job to make that work??)... and I would be more careful about diet and would mix in some other cross-training.

What advice would you give future runners?
Love my Hokas. Haven't had any of the nagging injuries since I switched. The bag drop conducted by Revel made dressing in layers for the cold starting line very easy and pickup was convenient at the end.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
This race was fun from packet pickup to after party! VERY WELL DONE and I will be back to run it again. I am local (South Jordan) but was surprised by the number of out-of-town and out-of-state runners that I met while participating. This race is definitely building a reputation outside the area.
