Describe your race day.
I was beautiful course with plenty of water at all the aide stations. My only comment would be to have more porto potties at the stations as the lines were pretty long and think people trying to PR were complaining about that.
-
Did you PR?
I did not PR.
-
How would you describe the course?
The scenery was beautiful, the downhill grades where not too steep and I live in Colorado so the elevation was fine.
-
Tell us about your training.
Lots of downhill running as well as trails and road running. I would tell people to train for downhill that's hard on the joints and quads.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Go slower in the uphill portions and make up time in the downhill portions.
I will definitely be doing it next year. I threw my back out the day before but didn't want to not try to complete it so I did it and was glad I did however it definitely was the reason I did not PR.
;)
