I killed it and then...it killed me. I ran faster than ever and set a PR but I thought my legs might fall off around mile 11!! Still, it was an awesome experience and I'm ready for you to add a course in Montana or Wyoming!

Yes I did.

Beautiful. Amazing. Fast. Brutal on the legs though.

I would find longer and steeper downhills to train on. Do strength training for legs.

Staying at Montage Resort in Deer Valley for a few days.

Catching the 3:15 pacer about midway down the canyon and not being passed by him again.
Parking and space at marathon start was pretty crowded.

Yes. Went about 3 1/2 minutes under fastest time.
Qualified for Boston.

Great. A bit steep at the upper Guardsman Pass section. The parts between Brighton and the S curve were ideal for stretching out your legs. Not too steep.

Tried to limit fats and carbs in diet. Did more hill and trail work, and ran the canyons a few times (both Big and Little Cottonwood) to acclimate to the downhill.
Used a few other Spring marathons to build up stamina.

Run the canyons a few times (both Big and Little Cottonwood) to acclimate to the downhill. Do both uphill and downhill.

Massage. Live locally, so not anything specific.

I don't consider myself a "downhill" runner and was a little nervous before the race star, so ran pretty conservativet. I absolutely LOVED the small things about this race; gloves and mylar blankets at the start, ice cold wash clothes and water at the finish. Very special touches!! Oh, I liked the results cards, too!

I did not - and definitely wasn't trying. It would have been nice to get another BQ, but I was a few minutes off.

That is some crazy downhill elevation! Beautiful scenery until the last out and back for the full. Once I turned, the course wasn't very pretty anymore. I most especially did not like the last few miles with heavy traffic on either side of me. Nice finish area, though. Easy to maneuver through and find friends and checked gear.

I'm a Marathon Maniac and run often and far. I did have a hip flexor injury this past spring that had me going a little slower than normal the past few races. Slowly getting some speed back. This was my fastest marathon in the past 6 months and I'm happy to report that my quads are feeling good.

Trust in the training. Don't go out too fast. Eat/drink before you feel the urge.

I went to In-N-Out Burger (they aren't located in WA). Yep, that was it. I was in SLC for approximately 25 hours to run the race before flying back to Seattle.

I absolutely love love this race! Amazing course and beautiful scenery! I got to run it this year with my 3 amazing running friends. It was also my 15th half marathon completed since I began running 4 years ago! Have ran this race 3 years in a row and will continue to in years to come! Thanks!

No I tried dang it!

Perfect love the downhill. Amazing scenery

I could run more during the week if my schedule allowed.

Went to Hogs Wallow after the race for a celebratory beer!
I am from Layton Utah!

Perfect weather! This race was so we'll organized. I was pleasantly surprised by how smoothly everything went all day. I loved the towels dipped in ice water. What a great surprise those were! The popsicles were awesome too. Definitely my favorite 1/2 so far.

Yes, beat my old time by 10 minutes!

The course is beautiful, though those last 3 city miles did me in, even though they were still downhill

4/5 Stars

Beautiful course!

no

ok. Didn't like the out and back. Water stations were off. Didn't like dodging the half marathoners. The half marathoners took all the chocolate milk so those who ran the full didn't get any.

I run many races and run consistently.

Train for the downhill
