I actually really liked this race. It is all downhill from Santa Fe down to midway between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. I thought the scenery was beautiful- really pretty rolling desert along the side roads of the high way. It is really cool how they have African drums and local artists playing along the course. The only bummer was having to take a shuttle to the course start at like 5am and it was freezing. Nice tech shirt and finisher medal.
