Describe your race day.
Overall very good organization, great website and information before the race, free photos, instant results on the site, well prepared race bag (for the anticipated cold start), a lot of aid stations, inspirational billboards, a lot of goodies (especially the cold towel) and live music at the finish. Still, I wished to freeze less (1h) before the start. Also the start of the race was chaotic because the start gun was missing. The views of the race were beautiful. Enjoyed downhill running until the muscle pain started. Nevertheless, the finish was well prepared and despite the pain got a lot of good emotions out of this race. To sum up, this is one of the nest organized races I participated. Awesome job, team!

Did you PR?
No, because of the downhill race I got leg muscle pain/cramps. Lasted for 1/3 of the race and the last mile was an agony.
-
How would you describe the course?
Fast downhill but painful at the end. Still enjoyed the beautiful canyon landscape.

Tell us about your training.
I was training on the weekends for the most part (2x 1:30h runs), before the race also a few weekdays. Running on a flat surface. Rest of the time I am biking, 2 hrs per day.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Train muscles for running downhill.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Warmed up with music before the race, Took Photos during and after the race, drank beer together with the team and listened to live music after the race.
P.S. Travelled from Burbank, CA. Woke up at 3:30 am to get ready on time.
