  1. Overall Rating

    5/5 Stars

  2. Describe your race day.

    Despite an early start, the race went really well. Transit to the top went well. Volunteers were great. Course is one of the best road courses I have run.

  3. Did you PR?

    Yes. By 8 minutes over last year. BQ!

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Great course. Very scenic. Only one segment which was less than stellar (through Evergreen). Good amount of drop.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    Did numerous training runs on a similar course. Need plenty of downhill training. Could have used a bit more heat training (hard to do in Colorado in the Spring).

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Be aware that the top half is quite a bit faster than the second half. It may seem cool at the start, but you warm up very quickly.
