Describe your race day.

Weather wasn't good, but not your fault. The course was okay. The last half could have been a little better. Would like more people along the route to cheer. Overall I did enjoy it. My son and a niece ran as well. We will do more revel runs.
Did you PR?

First run so yes here. Also I did pr overall. Have run 3 halves so far. Pr bu 9 minutes.
How would you describe the course?

Nice. Love the mountains didnt like the flat. Would rather have more mountains.
Tell us about your training.

I didnt train like I wanted. I train by myself around my house when I have the time. I'm very busy so training is not as easy as it is for some.
What advice would you give future runners?

Train more before. Do it for fun not for the race. Find some friends or relatives to do it with you.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Went to big bear lake. Shopped there. Rented a cabin and enjoyed the hot tub and the wood stove. My wife and I traveled from texas, my niece from Indiana, and my son from burbank.
