Describe your race day.

Caught the shuttle to the start at about 5am, very smooth. Plenty of potties at the start. Loved running the downhill course and enjoyed the route changes from last year. Pizza and pie at the finish were awesome and love the medal!

One recommendation: both years it felt like there wasn't really an "official" start for the half. It felt like once you walked from the potties to the start line, you pretty much just started. Maybe some sort of air horn or something to signal the start?
Did you PR?

I was not doing this race for time, so no. We did, however, set a PR for fun
How would you describe the course?

Fast, smooth downhill in the high desert.
Tell us about your training.

I recently used a Hal Higdon marathon training plan and just kept my mileage up after the full marathon in February
What advice would you give future runners?

Bring plenty of layers, it is cold at the start!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I came from Phoenix, AZ. We mainly just had a relaxing weekend away from our kids.
