Describe your race day.

I absolutely loved this course! This is my first time here and I loved the steepness (but not too steep! ) of the course and especially the end where I couldn't see the finish until the very last (unlike the 3 miles of flat at the end of Big Cottonwood!). I was very please there were only about 1500 total runners because it was nice not having the race course be so crowded.
Did you PR?

I think I came very close to getting a PR because I can't remember all my other race times. I will go online and check. I didn't qualify for the Boston Marathon because I ran the half marathon, but for me I did very well.
How would you describe the course?

Fast, beautiful, excellent amount of downhill and just slightly flat or uphill. This is my new favorite race! Loved the cactus, the view of the city, and the fact we were only about 6,000 feet to start.. I live at 8500 feet in Colorado and the only part of me which hurt were my legs and feet -- not my lungs this time.
Tell us about your training.

I didn't get to train very much because of work, concert band rehearsals, taking care of my elderly Mom, and just life. I think I could do very well if I trained more!
