This course was AMAZING!! Tons of beautiful scenery, fun running, a bit of route finding, and nice weather!  33k is a nice distance.  I haven't decided yet but I think this may be my new favorite race.  I started off conservative and had a good, strong finish.    

There were some superstar, smoking fast runners on the course and some amazing times!  Mine certainly was not one of them but it was good enough for 8th of 74 in the 40-99 age group. 

The only thing that was not great was a lack of food and drink at the finish line; water, Heed, and tasty soup but I could have really used at least some bread and something else to drink.  There was a beer garden and food truck for spectators but I did not run with my wallet, maybe that was a good thing.  There was a post race party that night with kegs and a limited amount of pizza.  This was nice but I knew no one and felt like an old man standing alone.  None of this negates how great the course was!

In the afternoon after the race, Sunday, and Monday I hiked in Arches with my family.  It was an all around enjoyable weekend.
