Provo River Marathon

It's unusual for me to do a post about something other than my boys, but I feel an obligation to warn all runners who may read my blog not to ever run the Provo River Marathon or 20 mile training run like I did this Saturday.  My two friends ran the marathon and I did the 20 mile run in preparation for the upcoming St. George Marathon.  The course is exceptionally poorly marked, I took a wrong turn and lost about 3 miles of the run and my friends on the marathon got lost but luckily had GPS watches, so they have to add in a random 2 mile loop to get the full distance and to stay on course.  I could keep going, but the fact that no gatorade was provided at the end gives you an excellent idea of the caliber of this race.  The race website is http://www.trailrun.com.  I also have serious complaints about the website as well.
