  2. Describe your race day.

    Beautiful weather beautiful course. I appreciated the announcement of the delayed start and no worries about getting to the porta pots before the race

  3. Did you PR?

    Nope

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Uphill was tough, so I walked most of it. The run was gorgeous going from pine forest to rock formations to cactus forest.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I didn’t train for this one. I ran Big Cottonwood and was on a hiatus from training much. I def learned from Big Cottonwood about the downhill running and how hard it is on the legs and I was able to go easy on this one.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    No sunglasses are needed. You are running toward the southwest. There was much more shade than sun. I had no problem taking it down to Capri pants and tank top with arm sleeves. I shed the gloves and headband early on. I had udon noodles soup the night before and it was perfect.

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    We drove the course and ate lunch in Summerville. Loved that. We got fudge at the gift shop there. We stayed at Four Points by the airport and enjoyed their breakfast daily (except on race day) Frim Louisiana.

    There were not enough porta pots at the half start.
