Describe your race day.

Great race day beginning to end with the organization of the race and volunteers. The altitude got me which resulted in a very slow finish, but a great race to go slow on considering the beautiful scenery.
Did you PR?

No
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful, but unforgiving to this southerner not used to the altitude.
Tell us about your training.

Not as much as I would have liked, but good enough usually it would have been good enough for a 4 hour finish.
What advice would you give future runners?

Always good to train more. I'll be doing serious downhill training before my next Revel. Cross their fingers that the altitude doesn't affect them.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Lunches and dinners with friends. Will venture out and find things to do in the next couple days before leaving town.
