Describe your race day.

Plenty of parking at bus pickup, plenty of buses, nice waiting area at start line with plenty of porta-potties, beautiful downhill course, plenty of aid stations with wonderful volunteers, nice finish area with a table giving printouts of our times and places, and several photo backdrops with time displays. There were also many photographers along the course and free photos.
Did you PR?

It was the fastest half marathon I've run in many years. Twenty minutes faster than the RnR half marathon earlier this year.
How would you describe the course?

Gorgeous, and very fast!
Tell us about your training.

Nothing special.
What advice would you give future runners?

We stayed at the Comfort Suites Sabino Canyon which was comfortable and only a few miles from the buses, and enjoyed a nice dinner just across the street from the hotel. Take warm clothes to the start area for the wait, then dress light for the race since you warm up quickly.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

We drove the road to the top on Mt Lemmon and enjoyed refreshments at a restaurant there. Well worth it for the beautiful views and photo opportunities.
