Describe your race day.

Had great experience through out the race. At the finish line, we were supposed to take the shuttle to the Big Bear High School. Shuttles were running late. Jared managed the whole episode so well that this episode turned into a sweet experience as opposed to the bitter one. Jared took care of all the folks who were waiting and keep them well informed.
Did you PR?

Yes.
How would you describe the course?

It is a fast course with significant downhill. However, half course has lot of flat and uphill too. That makes it challenging,
Tell us about your training.

It was great. My max. distance was 12 miles.
What advice would you give future runners?

Definitely pace yourself. Initial downhill miles may be tempting. Keep in mind that it is 13 miles and you got to save some juice for the last 3 miles that are more flat.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

We traveled from Gilbert AZ on Thursday and enjoyed 2 nights in the Phelan, CA. Had some great hiking done on Friday. Saturday was fun at the expo. It was a wet expo. On Sunday after the race, we are not really sure what happened. We were too drunk to remember. LOL.
