Decided to run this race the day before.  And wanted to see where I was basically.  Ran it with Marty Black.  This was the first year of the race.  So that made it a bit fun.  We ran part of the course 2 weeks ealier going the other way.  So kind of knew what we were up against.  Miles 1-3 are downhill coming out of Rose Canyon. 4th mile is a flat till about 4.25 and then its a gradual uphill till about 7.5 or so.  At the end up that climb is a mean hill outside of little butterfield canyon.  And then its downhill to Daybreak with a few hills in there.  And a strong crosswind.

Temps were warm at the start and even though it started in a canyon it really isnt much of a canyon.  Just get a downhill run for the first bit.  By the end of it I was getting dehydrated with my mouth being very dry.  I feel bad about having to stop so many times in this race.  And with a goal of 1:35-40 I sure did miss it.  That uphill just took to much out of me.  Also decided to run this one in my racing flats.  Hmm worked out ok I think.  But the ball of my right foot was really sore the rest of the day.

Looks like you did fine. Sounds like the course has a lot of different terrain in it. Hope your injury stays away this week.

Hey Mark, I just saw that you ran this race. Good job on the first race of the year!
