  • Comments: The race itself is amazing. I don't think the course is too hard for me...the conditions were just really tough, plus my nutrition was a disaster.

  • Comments: St George is an amazing venue. It is a tough course for sure, one of the toughest halfs in North America. The town of St George really pulls out all the stops to make this a top tier event. With 2,600 volunteers and the entire town rallying to cheer you on, you can't beat it. With some of the most stunning scenery you will experience and lots of outside opportunities to visit Zion and Bryce national parks, its just really one of the best events I have been to. Will be returning next year for sure.

  • Comments: I beat last year's time by 8 minutes, which will probably stand as my course PR. If I do a HIM next season, I will l likely choose a new venue. I've seen St. George cool and wet, and now warm and windy. I'm not sure I want to find out what other weather it can throw at me This year I did try harder to look up and enjoy the scenery on the bike and run. It's a strikingly beautiful area. If I do return for another go at the course, I will book a longer stay and see more of the sites in this spectacular area. Also, the volunteers at this race are the best. The race seems to have tremendous community support, which makes it a lot of fun as a participant.
