Describe your race day.

Very early for buses - adults don’t fit well on school buses. The start was confusing and anti clamatic. No national anthem or gun. The course was nice. I saw 3 people fall and I hope they are okay. Very little pacers on course. The finish line was the best part of the race. I loved all the signs and photographers. Nice to see so many restroom stations. Love the short sleeve shirt. Such a beautiful color. Love all the samples in bag.
Did you PR?

Yes by 23 minutes. I have no idea about Boston
How would you describe the course?

Very pretty scenery. Since we were on one lane there were some hazards. Some cars passing by were not passing safely.
Tell us about your training.

I’ve been training for Ragnar trail. If I had planned sooner to do this run I would of done an all down hill 10 mile run. Train going down hill.
What advice would you give future runners?

Be able to shed clothing because of the cold.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live in Norco so I didn’t travel far. My first half in Big Bear. I probably would do it again.
