Crazy downhill race today starting at Alta and finishing in Sandy. Over 3K of drop. It was a lot of fun for about 4 miles, then downhill really gets to you. Coming out of the Canyon (about mile 9), I was done! I knew I was not going to pass anyone, so my only goal was not to be passed (and make it alive to the finish). It was fun to run fast again (see early splits), I just need to get the endurance back from the time off earlier in the year with back surgery.
Great event, on-time, plenty of hydration, porta-potties and buses. The course was also very well marked, although long at 13.31 (can I subtract 1:30 because of this?).
