  2. Describe your race day.

    Very smooth; everyone was helpful and organized. I really enjoyed waiting for the Half to begin; I enjoyed the music and the clear skies and crisp air. The silhouette of the mountains was nice!

  3. Did you PR?

    Yes; I improved my Half by 17 minutes!

  4. How would you describe the course?

    First half of the Half was primarily down hill and scenic. The latter half of the Half (about mile 8 or 9) it was flat and residential and not as scenic.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    Interval training; ran hills.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Be cautious not to start too fast ...

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    I was local; enjoyed the post race but didn't take any photos b/c I don't carry a phone w/ me during the race.

    I wish we could have started the Half with the National Anthem.
