Describe your race day.

You've made many improvements over your first two years and organization of the event. However, it's unacceptable for an event of this size that features a point-to-point course to not have porta Johns at the bus loading site. Ridiculous. You also need more at the first four aid stations. Lines of 20 deep impact race times and keep you from being an elite option
Did you PR?

No. Did not train at all for this event
How would you describe the course?

Scenic and serene until out of the canyon. Wish you could close traffic altogether on Ft Union. Also your downhill vehicles in the canyon were especially reckless in their speeds while driving next to runners. Safety was impacted.
Tell us about your training.

None at all this year
What advice would you give future runners?

Train with downhill courses
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
