Describe your race day.

I ran with my sister-in-law during the whole time, so it was a great bonding experience for us. The downhill race and scenery were really great!
Did you PR?

No PR
How would you describe the course?

Loved the downhill aspect and the scenery, especially toward the end with the rock formations.
Tell us about your training.

Training was tough for me since I have a 9 month old, but I made an effort to run as much as possible. In the future I would try to dedicate more to my training.
What advice would you give future runners?

Use the mylar blanket for wait at the starting line! I stupidly left my bag in the car and didn't have one at the start line.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

One piece of advice - PLEASE make a note in the important race information email that goes out and tell people they need their IDs to enjoy a post-race beer. I was not aware we would need an ID and therefore left it in the car and was very disappointed when the guys at the beer garden entrance wouldn't let me in without an ID. I really looked forward to enjoying a frosty beer post-race and was upset I couldn't do so. Not to mention I'm pretty sure I paid for it in some way or another....
