Describe your race day.

Very nice sitting at the top of the mountain talking to the out of town runners. I was telling them how beautiful the mountains are.
Did you PR?

No
How would you describe the course?

The course was pretty in the mountain area. My personal opinion is that people from out of town are not seeing the best of Utah. Once you hit mile 18 it is flat and ugly as you run past piles of dirt. Also running down the main highway is not cool. I would not recommend this race based on the dirt and highway. The rest of the course is pretty.
Tell us about your training.

Followed a 3 month training course
What advice would you give future runners?

I would say this is not a race they want to run based on the dirt piles and running down a busy highway. Yuck
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Just chatted with friends
