    2. Describe your race day.

      Race day was perfect! Everyone was so friendly and happy!

    3. Did you PR?

      YES!! Beat my previous PR by 4 minutes.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Perfect! Don't change a thing.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I trained for the downhills on a decline treadmill. I would train harder to keep up speed towards the end where it flattens out.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Cold at the start but today was absolutely perfect weather wise.

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

      Lots of close breweries and shopping.

    2. Describe your race day.

      Great. The only problem was the shuttle transportation to the start. I felt like it was somewhat disorganized and slow. It felt rushed once we got to the start despite getting to the shuttle early.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      The grade was tough, but not too much on my knees.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      N/A

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Great course for a PR.

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

      Unfortunately, I had to run to the airport after the race.

    2. Describe your race day.

      It was a great race day. Lucky enough to have perfect weather. Coming down the marathon course, and overlooking the valley where we sat above the clouds was spectacular.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes, I PR’d on the full by over 17 minutes, despite some aches and pains.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      The scenery was amongst the most beautiful I’ve enjoyed. The elevation was pretty nice.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      The training worked well. I took the Revel Advanced. Due to a very hot California summer, it was pretty tough. I didn’t complete all the training as prescribed. Still, I think it helped me perform well on this downhill course.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Do find a way to prepare for the downhills. It helps over 26 miles.

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

      I live fairly local, so not applicable.

    2. Describe your race day.

      Felt really organized. Instructions were available every where. That made a difference to me because I knew where everything was and there were plenty of people around to help. Having my bag looked for instead of trying to find it myself was also helpful.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes! 10mins. No, I ran for a personal record only.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Clean course...enjoyed the fruit at the water stations. I don’t recall that at the canyon city course.

    2. Describe your race day.

      Well organized. Course was a big improvement over prior years. Parking logistics were great. Only suggestion is better direction as far as race shuttles. No signs and blindly wandered for a bit with other participants.

    3. Did you PR?

      No

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Great. Descent was gradual.
