1. Chris Anderson Sept. 4, 2021, 10:36 a.m. Is it to late to change to half

2. Keith Levitt Sept. 9, 2021, 4:27 p.m. Chris, a new medical condition has put me in a spot that I am not able to compete these coming weekend. I've sent emails asking if I can defer this to next year or use the credit for another event but haven't heard back. Please let me know asap. Feel free to give me a call at 407-492-3599. This was going to be my 97 marathon so I'm pretty bummed. Please respond.

1. Stefanie Feb. 27, 2020, 5:12 p.m. Has anyone had any issues with elevation sickness or thin air making it hard to breath? I’m coming from the Midwest with absolutely no elevation. I’m worried to sign up and end up completely miserable or not being able to run.

1. Andrew Parsell Sept. 10, 2018, 6:23 p.m. Great race. Got hot at mile 20-26 and the water at the water station was hot and did not help cool me down at all.

2. Bard Davies Sept. 13, 2019, 3:11 p.m. Would you please report on the amount and percent of the fees going to the causes/charities listed? We are somewhat landlocked by your race and would like to see cost benefit of the race.

2. Describe your race day.

   Running with my daughter Jami. She is my coach & mentor.

3. Did you PR?

   No much slower this year. Slow start due to so many people going up to the turn to start the run down.
   Not good control at the beginning first turn.

4. How would you describe the course?

   Beautiful as always.

5. Tell us about your training.

   Need more down hill runs. My fault just had a hard time fitting runs in.

6. What advice would you give future runners?

   Practice runs down hill. Start slow and easy.

2. Describe your race day.

   overall positive experience except for 2 disappointments....the pace group started out too fast and stayed too fast for the first half of the marathon. When the 3:40 pacer is just 30 seconds behind the 3:35 pacer, you know someone is going too fast! The second disappointment was getting turned away at the beer tent because I didn't run with my photo ID!

3. Did you PR?

   No...I should have stuck to my pace band plan instead of following the pacers....

4. How would you describe the course?

   Beautiful and fast!

5. Tell us about your training.

   Training in S. Louisiana meant very limited hill work...had to rely on parking towers, treadmill on decline, and a few hills. Overall, I was ready. I just went out too fast.

6. What advice would you give future runners?

   Stick to your plan and do not follow the pacers...they were way off the goal pace! Also, carry your photo ID during the run - evidently Revel does not like runners to enjoy a beer after the run!

2. Describe your race day.

   nice arriving to the bus departure, good parking área, nice buses, nice drivers, arriving to the start point nice view of the mountain and a heaven full of stars (maybe a Little crowd and need some extra rest rooms), very very very fast course until mile 18, but then: up and down hills (from 19 to 23 mile); cramps on the legs, tirs and frustration, last 3 miles, again going down, and as a prize: a Boston Qualifier, a lot of pain but a big smile...

3. Did you PR?

   I didnt PR but I happily had a BQ!!!!!!!!! for 37 seconds !!!!!!!!!!!

4. How would you describe the course?

   as I told before:
   1 / 18 fast fast fast fast fast course
   19 / 23 hell and back, sun! up and down hills, cramps...
   24 / 26.2 down hill again, so helpful...
   sorry, I didnt enjoy the scenery, I was so concentrate on the watch...

5. Tell us about your training.

   I failed 3 months ago on the mount charleston maratón, so I improve my training:
   more up and down hill training, more legs workouts on the gym, better selection on my final miles play list and checking the course in my car the day before with an altimeter not to be surprised again...

6. What advice would you give future runners?

   easy to arrive to Salt Lake City, nice hotels, good restaurants to carbo load...
   strategy on the race: try to win any second you could before 18 mile (you will need it in the final miles)...
   weather: cold on the beginning (not so cold) and to hot the last 8 miles (real hot and sunny), cap and black lenses needed...

7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

   I enjoyed very much to drive the race course the day before the race, checking which part of the race was up or down hill etc.
   after the race; to stay on the finish line and enjoy my race mates crossing the finish line meanwhile the nice gay with the microphone tells al the public who were crossing the line...
   I fly from Mexico city to Salt Lake city and I celebrate my BQ on saturday night on Vegas!!!!!!!

2. Describe your race day.

   Coming from Dallas, TX I didn't know what to expect. So, the day before the race I drove up into the race area and my heart started racing with uncertainty...lol
   I had a scary but exciting feeling at the same time is the best way to describe.

3. Did you PR?

   Yes!! This was my 2nd time running a marathon and I PR'd my 37 minutes! I was very proud.

4. How would you describe the course?

   Challenging, very steep, painful 18-22.

5. Tell us about your training.

   If you don't live near steep inclines/declines then you are SOL!
   Seriously, I would recommend to incorporate more strength training then you normally would do because you are going to need it!

6. What advice would you give future runners?

   If you can afford to have a few training runs on the course so that you can gauge what you are about to embark upon.

7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

   Beer. Beer. Beer.
