Describe your race day.

The views were spectacular. The support was amazing. You knew exactly when the pictures were coming so you can avoid that awkward pose where you look half dead.
Did you PR?

Yes. It was my first full marathon down hill. I cut half an hour out of my LAM time. No I did not set a PR because it was a first marathon I do down hill. I will need to do it again and then set a time and compare to this one.
How would you describe the course?

It was fast. I loved that the down hill was not so steep. I have done Fontana and that course destroyed my hips and knees. A little bit of a slant but not as bad as Azusa Revel.
Tell us about your training.

I did not have much down hill training.
What advice would you give future runners?

Dress warm for the wait to at the top.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Not much, had dinner and spend time in the hotel, at Redlands
