Describe your race day.

I think you all did an amazing job organizing the event and keeping us safe. I would like the port a potties moved back to Spruces and Gu available at more than one station - but those are not huge deals. Thank you so much!
Did you PR?

No. I had not trained like last time but still was satisfied with my race.
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful until mile 9.5 (parking lot) then it is just ok. Hard to beat the canyon scenery.
Tell us about your training.

I live nearby so ran the canyon a few times. I needed to run up top more and then mile 9.5-13 a few more times.
What advice would you give future runners?

Run uphill to train. Need cardio build and quad strength.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live 4 miles away from the finish line. I like the time after the race in the vendor area. Thank you!
