Describe your race day.

I was super anxious to start the race since it was my first half merathon didn’t really know what to expect I really loved how people were just so encouraging throughout the course
Did you PR?

I set an RP to finishe within 3 hrs
I RP 1:43 way better than what I expected
How would you describe the course?

The scenery was amazing definitely would have loved to have run the full merthone to see more of the beautiful view
Tell us about your training.

I heard about the Marathon/half marathon about two months before the race I wanted to challenge myself so I trained abou 4-5 days a week 2-3 miles every day . I wish I would have pushed myself a little harder and ran more miles a day so I would have gotten a better time.
What advice would you give future runners?

just have fun just remember it’s a memory your making and even when you feel like giving up just push yourself harder it will be worth it at the end when your done and you gave it all you had to give. Dress warm so your muscles stay warm if you take a sweater/sweats take something your not going to miss if you lose also make sure you take actual running shoes with good padding you don’t want to get shinsplints they are not fun to have
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I traveled from Azusa not that far about an hour away arrived about 45 min before the race stared
