Tell us about your training.

Ran 8-10 mile runs down Big and little Cottonwood canyons on Saturday's. Training downhill is important
What advice would you give future runners?

Keep your eyes up and enjoy the scenery. Know where the water stops are. Train downhill as often as possible.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Not much... lines were long. Loved the live music and the vats of ice water with cold towels was very nice
