Downhill was fun, brutal for a rece walker that last flat area. Did it! Will run it next time. Needed to train for downhill. Happy and Healthy. MORE

This was my third Revel race and first time running Mt. Lemmon. I am becoming a big fan of Revel races. Everything about their events are first class. The pre race comunaction and instructions made morning parking and suttle a breeze. The course water stops and support was excellent. The finish line and post race nutrition was also well above above average. The medals are very nice and if you place in your age group they give you a really cool patch that wraps around the ribbon stating what place you finished. When I signed up for this half the elevation loss was a 3100 ft. But about a month before the race they changed the course. This was supposedly done to remove the early uphills in the full marathon. That meant that both races were pushed down Mt. Lemmon about 4 miles. Unfortunately for the half this removed 1000 feet of elevation loss and made the course much slower than before and also quite difficult. The first 7 miles basically lost all 2100 feet then the rest was flat with some rolling up and downhils. I ran the first 7 miles faster than I have ever ran but when the down hill ended my legs were done. I was very surprised how hard it was to run those last 5+ miles. I still finished 3rd in age group and 33rd overall but if the course was all downhill I would have probably shaved 8 minutes off my finish time. The scenery for those first 7 miles was awesome, after that not so much I’m not sure if I would run this race again on it’s current course. But if you haven’t ran it you should do it once to take in those first senic 7 miles.

Beautiful view! Loved the course. The bus ride to the marathon start seemed to go on forever… very well organized. Lots and lots of downhill! Not many spectators along the course due to the location, which I surprisingly liked (was able to focus on the run and scenery).

Gravity was my best friend. I flew down the mountain until it flattened out at mile 12. Then, it felt like my legs couldn’t lift off the ground enough to get across the finish line. Still, it was one of my favorite courses.
