Describe your race day.
It was perfect weather - Finally!!
-
Did you PR?
Yes!!! OMG.. By 19 minutes!! My best for a half before I ran this course was 2:19 and I got 2:00.27!! I only ran the half ( as I am running Mt Lemmon in few weeks for the full). I will definitely run Big Bear full next year and see if I get to my goal! Great course!
-
How would you describe the course?
Very strong downhill and then for about 4 miles it flattens out as it goes into the town.
-
Tell us about your training.
I am a LA Leggers.. I train all year and run between 2-3 marathons per year. I train on a lot of hills and downhills ( uphills are speed in disguise).
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Always put vasaline on your feet before you run (at least if your running more than 10 miles).
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
We ate at a very good Mediterranean restaurant.
Great race - well organized and an excellent course!
