Describe your race day.

Had a great race despite an injury. Had a PR for this race and I'm already looking forward to next year!
Did you PR?

Not my fastest half PR but my fastest "Go Big" PR. Nine minutes but missed my goal by six minutes.
How would you describe the course?

It is the best course I have ever run, love it.
Tell us about your training.

Training was right on track but three weeks before the race my right It band started to kill me. I had to rest for a week then I rolled twice a day and stretched it multiple times a day. I have never taped before but I had my knee taped free by Alta View Hospital the day before at the Expo and I feel like it really helped. Had no pain during the race just tightness.
What advice would you give future runners?

sign up!!!!!!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

local, I'm one of the lucky ones that has a home up the canyon, so I didn't even have to ride the bus.
