2. Describe your race day.

   My favorite thing today was crossing the finish line with my daughter, a first time runner! She started cramping up hard at Mile 12.5 and almost fell to the ground. I grabbed on to her and held her up. We walked (well she limped) in. She was crying. When we got to the chute the crowd cheered so loud for her! The crowd read her name on her bib and called her by name. They gave her a hero's welcome. It was awesome. Nobody cares if you can barely walk across the line. They are just so happy for you that you made it!

3. Did you PR?

   No

4. How would you describe the course?

   The course is beautiful! The S turn is a favorite. I just love to see the layers of runners right there! The police are so kind and courteous. The first aid team was awesome, especially the biker with his backpack! The photographers are super fun too.

   **please put more portapotties at mile 3 of the half and less at mile 12

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

   Traveled up from Pleasant Grove in Utah county.

   Before, none
   After I hung out at our group tent and then cheered in runners

2. Describe your race day.

   Cool weather, great run down the canyon. Another run with my daughter Jami! She keeps me motivated and running straight ahead to the finish!! Love her!

3. Did you PR?

   Cut a few seconds off. At 73 that's good news, don't you think!

4. How would you describe the course?

   One of the best ever. Fall colors are coming on, love to run down hill, it keeps me cool.

5. Tell us about your training.

   Not a good thing this year. Had eye surgery so I had to stop for a few weeks. Started in June and it was hard to stay focused and stay motivated. Did one long run a week before the race. I'll do better next year.

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

   We enjoyed the treats, picture taking and cheering others has they came to the finish line. It is one of the best organize runs I have done. Thanks to all the volunteers!
