Describe your race day.

Early arrival to the parking lot on Hospitality Lane in SB, the view of the cloud cover over the valley from the half marathon start in Forest Falls, running down through the canyon on Highway 38 ... and the post-race donut with sprinkles!
Did you PR?

No, wasn't in PR shape, but it is in my top three fastest for the half marathon distance.
How would you describe the course?

Very scenic.
Tell us about your training.

It wasn't what I had planned out due to a bunch of circumstances, but to run a half as fast as I did was a credit to the course. Advice: Be consistent, stick to your training plan, make sure you get a least a day a week when you're running a 10K pace tempo run with high foot turnover.
What advice would you give future runners?

Be consistent in training.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I'm local, so aside from the race, it was a "typical" weekend for me.
