    2. Describe your race day.

      My race day was so awesome, our bus ride up the canyon was very smooth in a nice charter bus. The start of the race was on time and the volunteer were all so great. The finish was packed with fanz to cheer everyone on and the sponsors had a lot of goodies at the end.

    3. Did you PR?

      I did not pr. But I came really close to my pr. All in all a great race though.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      BEAUTIFUL AND FAST.

    5. What advice would you give future runners?

      Train for a down hill course.

    2. Describe your race day.

      The sea of Mylar at the start was a cool scene. New PR was also great. You guys did awesome job. Aid stations were well stocked and staffed. The iced towel at finish was a nice feature.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes by 0:03:40. No BQ. Closer but need to work on pacing better.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Visually incredible. Underestimated the steepness of some parts- need to train on steeper descents. I live in Houston so elevation affected me on the climbs - especially the one at mile 3.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      More steep descents. Tough to do in Houston. Just means more parking garage training with steep ramps.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Train transitioning from steep downhill to flat and small rollers. Make sure to consider shoe forefoot cushioning. I'm glad I did.

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

      Nice drives through the mountains still here for couple of days so more to do. I'm from Houston,TX.

    2. Describe your race day.

      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!

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes I did.

    4. How would you describe the course?

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

    5. Tell us about your training.

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

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

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

    2. Describe your race day.

      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.

    3. Did you PR?

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

    4. How would you describe the course?

      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.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      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.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

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

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

      Massage. Live locally, so not anything specific.

    2. Describe your race day.

      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!

    3. Did you PR?

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

    4. How would you describe the course?

      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.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      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.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

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

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

      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.
