I completed the Xterra Estrella Mountain 20k in Goodyear, AZ on Oct 7. It was a very challenging & technical 12.56 miles, including a rattlesnake sighting at mile 11. The terrain was non-stop rocks and single track at best. A few runners became bloody casualties of the course. I ran unscathed, save for a few cactus kisses and finished in 2:27:43 (7th age group, F 35-39). There were 150 finishers overall, I think. Official stats online. No fans or potties on course, but it was well marked and there was plenty of nutrition and supportive volunteers.
