Describe your race day.

I love how organized this race is! You do a great job!!
Did you PR?

Yes! Beat my last PR by 20:09 (same race) and qualified for Boston!!!
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful!! Weather was perfect. Very steep in some parts. The out and back was hard as usual.
Tell us about your training.

I would highly recommend training on the course if possible (down the canyon and the out & back). I did that twice this year and it helped a lot!
What advice would you give future runners?

It took a long time for my legs and hands to warm up so I would recommend keeping the gloves and and maybe wearing capris instead of a running skirt like I did.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Only came from Kaysville so I just went home :)
