Most would argue that they prefer running down hill, but I did not like the duration of the downhill course. It’s very harsh on the body and for older individuals that pounding isn’t really ideal. I don’t think this course should have Been a qualifier due to the fact that it was all downhill. Someone can qualify here, and not do as well somewhere else because there are actual inclines in most courses. It kind of makes this race look bad by having all these qualifiers, but then they don’t do well when they perform at that qualifying race. It was beautiful outside.
