Describe your race day.

Got up too early, no way around that. Transportation was well coordinated. Organizers did a good job keeping us informed on pre-race routine. Aid stations were well run. Weather was great.
Did you PR?

Yes.
How would you describe the course?

Beautiful.
Tell us about your training.

Found a 16 week training guide and stuck to it - mostly.
What advice would you give future runners?

A big pre-race concern was the effect of a continuous downhill on upper leg muscles and knees. Was not a problem for me. The 5% average grade is gentle enough to not affect stride.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live here so my big adventure was going to the east side of Tucson - never get to this side of town. Ran the race with my daughter who came in from Vegas. She was nice enough to run at my pace. Not sure she'll be so nice next time.
