Describe your race day.

I have been participating about 50 full marathon since 2015.
Big bear marathon is my 1st marathon for descending course.
Race day, the whether was perfect to run and cloud spreaded in the mountain was put me in romantic mood so I can not help taking so many photo shot during the race that make me fail BQ by 15 seconds. Oh my god!!!
I had a BQ at Long Beach Marathon at 2008 by3;45:23. My target time now 4:00hrs.
How would you describe the course?

Cource is good. but there are some hollowed road surface in center line which would hurt
ankle hurt to the runners.
Tell us about your training.

Descending course is different with others. It is necessary to train at descending place.
What advice would you give future runners?

First half should be slow run than your target pace and 2nd half shall be your target pace.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

beer gaeden was good.

I have traveld with my team( LA Runners Club) runners and suppotors(15 participants and 18 supportors). We have enjoyed very much.
