Describe your race day.
I loved the supportive volunteers. Thank you for having such positive people. And thank you for having well stocked aid stations.
-
Did you PR?
Yes. First race. Slow and not worth mentioning a time though.
-
How would you describe the course?
The course was beautiful and definitely a good first half to start with.
-
Tell us about your training.
I did not train properly. I did cardio but did not focus on running. Before completing this, the most I had ran was 6 miles. Did not think I could finish, was impressed I did. To others I would say, train. And even if you think you can't do it, you probably can.

What advice would you give future runners?
Bring pants to wear up at the top of the canyon and send back down in one of the trucks. I wished I would have had some. Spandex did not cut it in the warmth department.
Thank you!
