Describe your race day.
I had a great day. The race seems to be a little long which isn't a huge deal to me but it did surprise me so I missed my best case scenario goal by 18 seconds.
-
Did you PR?
Yes I had a PR by 9 minutes and a BQ by about 50 minutes.
-
How would you describe the course?
The course was good. I wouldn't call it scenic except I live in and love the desert. It is a much nicer, more casual downhill grade than Big Cottonwood.
-
Tell us about your training.
I train super hard, race results are secondary to me. I ran a peak of 90 miles and did 1160 miles in my 15 weeks of training.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Enjoy the run, don't get too hung up on results.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I didn't... We got in to town Friday night and left 2 hours after finishing.
I walked to the gate of the runners area and stood next to the girl at the gate while I hugged my wife. I was then told I could NOT re-enter! This is an absolute crock of crap especially since she could see me within 4 feet of the gate. Also, get some freaking chocolate milk. It is the only thing I want after a race. I can't eat solid food without being ill and I NEED the recovery carbs. I wound up going to Walmart to buy my own. In my opinion no chocolate milk is a deal breaker!
