Describe your race day.
Morning bus shuttle was good. Start was not. Looked very unorganized. Porta potties were aligned terribly. Huge delays on the start. I start at the end. Gun went off and I was just getting out of restroom. Took 30mins to finally reach rest room. Started 3mins after the starters. I ran a 2:48 and would have competed for a faster time if I had the opportunity.
Course was fast and easy just like it said it was going to be, awesome.
Post race. No beer garden? Wtf. That is a huuuuuuuuge disappointment. -
Did you PR?
No, but i wanna run this again so I can.
-
How would you describe the course?
Downhill downhill. Save your quads.
-
Tell us about your training.
80% in shape. I am a sea level runner and ranapproximately 25miles at 7,500ft or above in prep. Was good. I would get my base up. Need more 18-22mile runs. Only did 3-16milers.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Expect a delayed start. Very cold to start. Bring old clothes to discard during first few miles.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Before. Nothing.
After. Nothing. No beer garden. The post race band was awesome though.
Had In-N-Out burger. Best thing todo in SLC.
Awesome medals. Course description matched to a T. Work on the start. Get organized with lines. Have alot more volunteers at beginning to organize those porta lines. It is needed...get a beer garden. I know laws are bad in Utah. Marathoners expect a beer after a run.
