  1. Describe your race day.

    Good overall, but too far to walk after finish to claim bag and too far to get to shuttle to parking. I personally saw 3 runners collapse after the race where closer distances may have reduced this.

  2. Did you PR?

    No & No

  3. How would you describe the course?

    Good downhill course, but keep in mind that it starts above 10,000 ft and ends around 6,000 ft.

  4. Tell us about your training.

    Did not do enough distance work

  5. What advice would you give future runners?

    Bring an ID with you so you can get a beer. Desperately wanted a beer, but there was no notice or information advising runners to bring an ID with them or prequalify for a beer afterwards. Was rather upset that a 61 year old thirsty runner would not be allowed to have a beer.

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

    None, too much walking to bags and shuttle

    Please notify runners to bring an ID if they want a beer at the end or arrange for some sort or prequalification. This was not mentioned when I picked up my packet Saturday afternoon.
