  2. Describe your race day.

    Had a blast helping runners meet there goal of 4:25. Beautiful views and couldn't have asked for better weather! A huge thank you to all the wonderful volunteers! Revel Rocks!!!! I met so many new running friends and that's why I like to pace.

  3. Did you PR?

    I was your 4:25 Pacer. I came in at 4:24:32 awesome day! Last year I BQ'D running 3:23:54 but this year I wanted to give something back to the runners meeting their goal.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Awesome Views and great downhills with small short ups and than flat for the last few miles! This course is the perfect one to run a BQ and PR!

  5. Tell us about your training.

    For me this was my 49 Marathon of the year. So im kind of a bad example right now because i dontt train when i run week to week marathons. What I would advise runners is to not only train running 45 to 50 miles a week for 8 weeks to get in shape. But incorporate downhill training and uphill training but focusing on the downhill more. Speed work should help with keeping the pace. What worked well for me running many many marathons this year.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Fly in early so you can drive the course and strategies how you plan to attack the course. Get your host hotel early and close to the finish and bus pick up for the morning of the marathon On top of the Canyon it's colder because of the higher elavavtion so bring a Jacket and sweat pants to stay warm before the run. They have drop bags/gear check so no worries. Also if you want to wear a long sleeve shirt to start the race that's great they will pick them up along the route.

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

    I stayed with some friends and had a great time! I traveled from EL Paso TX 14hr car drive happy me.
