Describe your race day.

Enjoyed the race overall. Packet pick up race morning was a nightmare. The parking area was huge and there were no instructions where the pick up location was. It took me 20minutes of walking around to find a girl standing on a corner with a few boxes. No sign. No lights. Poorly thought out.
Did you PR?

No PR. About 12 minutes off. Not trying to BQ.
How would you describe the course?

First 20 miles were beautiful with a very nice easy downhill grade. Last 6 miles were mostl flat and definitely not scenic.
Tell us about your training.

20-25 miles/week trailrunning
What advice would you give future runners?

Carry your own fuel. Most of the aid stations didn’t have any.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

None
