    2. Describe your race day.

      The day was so smooth. Busses were on time, the packet has what you need to stay warm etc. I can't say enough good about what Revel has done here. The medal, the t-shirt, the packet, the expo... all great.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yep!

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Too steep. It truly is the definition of a double edged sword. I ran faster than I imagined. I was expecting to run about 3:15 and found myself with 30 seconds cushion on my 3:05 qualifying time with about .5 miles left... This is when I sustained a knee injury and had to walk to rest of the way.:) Still ran a 3:11 but some of those hills are DEATHLY. So steep.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I trained by doing a lot of uphill and downhill runs in neighboring canyons. Typical training otherwise... intervals and long runs. I would HIGHLY suggest running this course before hand or at least driving it and walking the steep parts.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      It's cold at the start. Wear some layers. I then ran in a tank and was fine. The pacers are great. If you have a time you are looking for, they are indispensable. That first mile is REALLY fast though. I would take it slow and be comfortable and catch up to the pacer of your choice a few miles later.

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

      Nothing really! I live here.:)

    2. Describe your race day.

      Perfect weather thanks for having it set up well and went very smooth.

    3. Did you PR?

      No

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Good but misleading that it thrashers the quads and calves much harder than runners realize

    5. What advice would you give future runners?

      Take it slow till the out and back let the gravity do the work.

    1. Describe your race day.

      Excited! My daughter, coach and trainer did an excellent job of keeping me motivated all the way down the canyon. It was exciting to see family and friends along the way. It was my first attempt at a long run!
      Thanks Jami! ( at 72 that's awesome.)

    2. How would you describe the course?

      Beautiful if this is the terrestrial world I can't imagine the celestial world. I think I will stay here.
      I love running down hill so the grade was great for me.

    3. Tell us about your training.

      did three to five miles during the week. It's a walk run for me most days.
      Weekend found me increasing as the weeks progressed . The longest was 11.2 a week before the run.
      My daughter kept me going. We even practiced eating along the way.

    4. What advice would you give future runners?

      Start slow and keep a comfort run, don't try to out run anyone.
      Drink along the way and eat the fruit.

      Was great may do it agan. At 72 you don't know how your body will work. 5K's have always been a good fit for me.
