Describe your race day.

Such a beautiful run!
Did you PR?

I did not PR, however this was my 3rd endurance race during a span of one month. I plan on coming back next year with the intent of taking time off.
How would you describe the course?

I would describe the course as beautiful but tough. As a flat lander I thought this was the hardest race I had ever run and it took me a full week to no longer be sore. I am hoping to train properly for the downhills next year.
Tell us about your training.

I was very fit and had a great season of running, but I was not prepared for the downhills. I jumped into this race on a whim because I love Mt. Lemmon. Next year I will come properly trained.
What advice would you give future runners?

Give this race a try. It will change you.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I have a relative in Tucson so we just chilled. Went to a farmers market and a winery. It was a very short trip. I traveled from Beloit, Wisconsin.
