    Thank you for watching. This is an absolute beautiful course, but not a course if you're looking for a PR. Looks like you've been on some amazing adventures. Look forward to seeing where you go.

    @MisterVaughn Thanks for watching! The weather was much cooler than it looks on camera. Page is over 4,000 feet elevation and cooler than the Phoenix area. At the start the temperature was in the 30s Fahrenheit and the high was only around 60. We were lucky though, the year before it had rained all day which would have made conditions more difficult.
