Describe your race day.

I loved the snow at the start. I liked that there are a few small inclines on the course!!
Did you PR?

No, but I ran a 50 miler 3 weeks prior and 3 weeks before that a 35 miler with 11,700 ft of gain. This race was to get my quads ready for Western States 100. I was hoping to run 3:39 and I ran 3:31. My PR is 3:30.30 at CIM
How would you describe the course?

Pretty scenery, steep to gradual descents to flat with some uphill at the end.
Tell us about your training.

Training for a 100 so... This was not a focus race but a training race.
What advice would you give future runners?

Train for downhill but also being able to run after the down hill so you don't blow up.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Hiked and next time we want to stay longer and explore the trails.
