 Run
Comments: The constant downhills killed my quads. It felt easy running, never felt out of breath, even at 9500ft. Lost ~470ft in the first mile alone. It was just constant downhill for 19 miles. By the time we reached the flat, my quads were screaming and I had nothing left. Felt OK til the last 2 miles. I wasnt' trying to set a PR, but was hoping for closer to 3:20. The downhills were too much, and I don't have enough downhill to train on for this course. What would you do differently?: nothing  Post race
Warm down: walked around, gota snack, and walked the 1/2 mile back to the car What limited your ability to perform faster: donwhill for the first 19 miles Event comments: This was a good race. Great website, good expo with lots of vendors. Transportation to the start was good, until one of the buses got stuck, blocking the road for all of the other buses. It delayed things by 30 min. The RD was sprinting between the buses keeping us all updated. It was n't his fault the bus driver didn't know how to drive. Tough course just because of the downhill. very scenic, though.

Ate too much oatmeal, pancake sandwich with Nutella, and drove to teh race site for the hour long bus ride
None. Bus problems kept us from getting to the race site til 6:40, then stood around waiting for the other buses to get there. Started ~30 min late
