Comments:

Tough trails. It was so rocky, that there were very few sections where I could just relax and run without worrying about tripping every single step. Add hte heat, the elevation, and the altitude and it made for a very hard race
What would you do differently?:

nothing
Post race
Warm down:

grabbed a bagel and beer, went straight to the car, and got showered and to the airport with 15min to spare before boarding hte plane

What limited your ability to perform faster:

hills, altitude, rocks, you name it

Event comments:

Very well organized, nice beer stein, tech shirt, and tech hat. Very hard course, but this was clearly stated on race website, so it was expected. Limited support - again clearly stated- but helpful volunteers.
