Describe your race day.
From beginning to end it was a great race. The gifts to help you at the beginning of the race due to cold were nice extra touches.
-
Did you PR?
I sure did! I beat my PR by 32 minutes! I'm not that fast of a runner so to see that was just amazing.

How would you describe the course?
Scenery was stunning. I wanted to stop so many times and just marvel and takes pics, then had to remember I'm being timed on this race. The elevation worried me as I had done Fontana Days and that one messed me up. This run however was not bad at all. I'm truly looking forward to next years.

Tell us about your training.
I train with the Lopers and we do hills regularly, however I tried training a bit more down hills to see what would work without being hard on knees and ankles.

What advice would you give future runners?
If you want to best your time or run a full this is the one to do it at. It's an amazing experience and why not finish at a great time to feel even more accomplished!

What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I don't know about others, but I love chocolate milk after a race (i'm not a big milk fan) but that it was in cups was awesome! Rather than carry that stuff around after a race - you want to rest up, stretch and relax. This was the best post race I've seen. It's a small area but it allows you to stretch and really do your post race rituals. There wasn't a rush to get you out - the staff made you feel accomplished and were very helpful. You were then able to proceed for pizza, donuts, and your beer if you wanted. Personally i'm good with the milk and powerade after a race, but it was great all around. Definitely recommending this race, and will sign up again!
