  2. Describe your race day.

    Arrived early - maybe too early(?). There was a back up as the lot didn't appear to be open yet (4AM).

  3. Did you PR?

    No; I'm recovering from a plantar injury.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Fast and beautiful. I ran the half; there were several challenging upgrades along the generally fast downgrades.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I consider myself a recreational runner. I run 3-4 miles two or three times a week. Several weeks before Canyon City, I ran up to 5-6 miles. The week of the race, I tapered down to 3.
    The soreness from running downhill lasted several days. I will prepare next time by incorporating hills in my training.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Prepare for the hills. Dress warm for the start. Mylar blanket provided by the staff works great.

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

    Pumpkin pie at the finish area--that was nice!

    The staff and volunteers throughout the race and aid stations were upbeat and supportive and made Canyon City a very enjoyable run.
