    2. Describe your race day.

      Absolutely perfect. This was my first time to run this course and I loved it! Very well organized race. Thank you!

    3. Did you PR?

      No but I'm much older now and I won't ever run that fast again. However this was one of the best times I've ran in recent years! I qualified for Boston by 17 1/2 minutes!!

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Great. All of it was good.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I felt undertrained but that might have worked out just fine for me because I had a great race.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      The first 5 miles I could really feel the altitude--on any up hills. After that I was fine. I live at 2200 feet above sea level.

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

      Stayed with family. I traveled here from St George.

    2. Describe your race day.

      I enjoyed the experience; while I was not as well prepared as I would have liked to be, the course was great; the organization was great. Congrats!

    3. Did you PR?

      No, but that was my problem;

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Beautiful;

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I had come into this run with a hope of re-qualifying for Boston after a couple of injuries sidelined me this year. My ramp up was a little too steep; next time!

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      None that I can think of;

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

      Just had a nice dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House; I really enjoyed driving the course on Friday.

    2. Describe your race day.

      The canyon and the weather were absolutely gorgeous. The race organization and support were fabulous.

    3. Did you PR?

      No

    4. How would you describe the course?

      I love the course. There are some steep downhill grades, but mostly pretty comfortable. The canyon is absolutely beautiful!

    5. Tell us about your training.

      My training wasn't as good as it should have been due to some health issues. Stamina wasn't there

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Do a lot of downhill training.

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

      Not much -- too cold in the beginning and too tired at the end.

      I'm local

    2. Describe your race day.

      I had some GI trouble early on and would have loved to see more porta cans along the race course. Long lines. Aside from that it was a well organized, beautiful, fast and incredible difficult race. I set a 16 minute PR! Coulda been more had I not had 2 long waits to use the potty.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes! 16 minutes. I did not qualify. I'll be back for that!

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Beautiful. Steep grades and a couple brutal climbs, mile 4&18. High elevation and thin air.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I trained in Houston, TX. I ran once a week on the downhill treadmill and regular runs out around town. Really glad I did that downhill running as it felt natural on the course. I should have done more uphill training. I'd vary the treadmill down hill runs with one or two uphill miles in between down miles.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Wear a trash bag to start. Train for steep downhills.

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

      Hung out with my friend!

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Fast. The out and back at mile 18 was treacherous, but the overall race was fast and beautiful

    5. Tell us about your training.

      Worked hard on strength conditioning

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Train for downhill

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

      Nothing. It was a less than 24 hour trip

      I really enjoy the course. That little up hill after mile 10 is a pretty good gut check, but overall is very good course.

    2. Describe your race day.

      It was great! The morning started or with a laugh. Two half marathoners got on our bus for the full :-) they were able to hop off and get to the right place but we all thought it was funny. I do wish the race started a little earlier

    3. Did you PR?

      This was my PR for a marathon by almost 40minutes

    4. How would you describe the course?

      More challenging than i thought it would be. My calfs cramped and I have never had that before in training or a race. Part of it was the steady decline and part was the side to side angle of the road was opposite what I'm used too.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I did the Higdon novice 1 training program. We tried to do a lot of down hill, but it's hard to run that much down hill in a safe area. I loved my training program but I probably would have tried to find more steep down hill places to train

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Don't be discouraged! This race is worth the challenge!

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

      Coffee. I'm from utah county

      Perfect! Everything was fantastic. The organization of the race was flawless. The volunteers were exceptional. Thank you so much for a beautiful experience!!!!!

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes. This was my 2nd half and I took about 10-11 minutes off my last time 2 yrs ago!

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Loved it... Speculation scenery!! Even saw a moose at the beginning of the race. Even though the downhill is rough....still completely enjoyed the experience!

    5. Tell us about your training.

      Used an app called Skyfit.... It is awesome!

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Do it!!!!

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

      Stayed in a hotel near the race which just added to the overall positive experience of the race. I live in Ogden so I'm not that far but it saved me about an her of sleep race morning.

    2. Describe your race day.

      I was very impressed with the drop off bags. I loved that we were given such functional things. The emergency blanket, awesome beanie for girls with the ponytail hole, and the gloves were awesome! I almost never use what I'm given in my bag, but these were so great. I was also extremely impressed with post race activities. I loved that half marathoners were given a free massage, there was pizza, bagels, Oreo's, etc... I felt like this race left me feeling very satisfied. To top it off, the shirts were awesome and the medal was stellar. The only challenge was just how steep the course was, but I don't believe that is something that can be changed. Overall, very, very impressive and enjoyable race! Would be happy to do again.

    3. Did you PR?

      No.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      BEAUTIFUL. MAJESTIC. STUNNING. And incredibly STEEP. I wasn't prepared for the decline. But the beauty of the majority of the race made up for it.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I would do more hill training. I did slight hill training, but nothing that prepared me for the incredible decline.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Bring sweats to wear before the start. It was COLD. Bring hand warmers.

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

      We came from Utah County, so we didn't do much before or after.
