Describe your race day.

Great race, gorgeous scenery and perfect weather. Well organized.
Did you PR?

No but I was running with an injury and actually hadn't run at all for 5 weeks prior to the race!
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful, scenic, downhill, occasional flat parts. No issue with elevation.
Tell us about your training.

Do quad and glute strength training! These were sore the next day. I wasn't able to train properly bc of my injury.
What advice would you give future runners?

I wore a short sleeve shirt and roll down sleeves, but rolled the sleeves down quickly--could have done without. Carry water bc you get thirsty easily.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Visited Park city and went to Antelope Island and saw bison. Dinner at Red Iguana was great! Traveled from CT.
