Describe your race day.
Very well organized, beautiful scenery, great swag. This was my first Revel, but I can’t wait to do more.
-
Did you PR?
No, but I also didn’t train for this half due to health issues the past several months. This was a “for fun only” race. Just to myself back out there running. I had no time expectations. That being said, I did better than I expected. Only 3 minutes away from a PR!

How would you describe the course?
The course was beautiful, and the race went by fast.
-
Tell us about your training.
Unfortunately I wasn’t really able to train because of unexpected health issues. I was only able to incorporate 2 downhill, longish runs. I didn’t want to defer, so I just did it!
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Do a lot of downhill training. I’m very sore. More sore than I am after a full marathon. Totally worth it though.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I spent time with family in Lake Arrowhead.
Revel is a class act. Great race policies, great swag and great locations.
Five stars!
