Half in 1:40.  Finished 3:26:15.

Arrived at the former Delta Center (now toxic waste arena) and waited for a few buses before heading up.  At Big Mountain, I kept getting in the lines for the port-a-potties so that I would not be stuck at the start of the run especially since this is a gun time race.

I really had no idea as to how to run this race.  I decided to just monitor my heart rate and effort level in an effort to not crash and burn at the end of the race. 

 I was pleased that only two people passed me after the half, one during mile 14 and the other around mile .

Given my lack of training, I'm satisfied, and it gives me something to build upon.
