I swore I would never run this race again. And yet, I found myself there, waiting to throw myself down a very steep Snow Canyon road. This year thought, I was wiser, at least at first. I took it fairly easy on the 2 mile steep downhill, so my quads wouldn't get so beat up. As I turned onto the dirt road, I did feel much better than last year. I just kept a steady pace for most of the race. At one point, I decided to see how many women I could pass, which wasn't a great idea, because once you pass someone, you can't just slow down and let them pass you back. So I was stuck at that pace that was faster than I had planned to run. So I have been very sore.
They changed the end of the race. Instead of staying on Snow Canyon Road, we went under the road and came out in Entrada. That was a winding, up and down road, that led us back to Snow Canyon HS. I liked this route better than staying on Snow Canyon Rd. for so long.
