  • Comments: This was a very nice small race. The course was beautiful, but HARD. I was 30 min slower than my usual marathon time. Organization was great. Plenty of Aid stations with hater, Heed, fruit, and gels at most of them. Fun post race party. Very good destination marathon. A nice pleasant relaxing resort town, 100 miles from the Grand Canyon. I would highly recommend it.

  • Comments: This was my first marathon, and first running race over 5K. I feel like I prepped pretty well, but should have trained on more hills. It was really an awesome race, and I smiled for the whole thing. Definitely a tough 1st FM, but I'm glad I did it. I tried to keep track of what was happening at different distances, but I forgot everything already. Basically, I ran and it hurt. I don't think I got 5 hours of energy out of that 5-hr Energy Drink. I got like 2.5. So, that was king of misleading. Luckily I also had gels with me. One more gel may have helped at the end. I wasn't sure I could stomach it though so I just kept it in my pocket. I didn't want to be 'that guy that puked at the marathon'.
