Describe your race day.
My favorite part of the Revel races is the Finish. I go into the beer garden and make new friends every time. Then later on I see people in the Revel shirts all over the place.

Did you PR?
Yes. I was 10 or 15 minutes faster than I was the last couple times I did Canyon City. I can't compare my time with Rocky's though because I did the full there. But I think I beat my time in Whiskey Row Prescott Arizona from when I was about 10 years younger.

How would you describe the course?
I don't think you could have picked better conditions. I love Forest Falls, I take my family hiking there all the time. This course is set at the foot of the tallest mountain in Southern California. Enough said.

Tell us about your training.
I caught cold and I missed about a week and a half of training two weeks before the race. I generally do out and back style training,mostly trails, so there isn't much in addition to prepare for this type of race. I do lift weights also. one thing to consider about this race is that in spite of the fact that it's in the mountains, the elevation isn't very high.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Count on having a great time,and don't worry about the details too much, because the Revel people have it together pretty well.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
This was the first Revel race that happened to be in my town, Redlands. So speaking as a local, if you were to go and Scout the Half Marathon course the day before, you should go park and see the waterfalls just a couple miles up the road from where the race starts. After the race, you are very close to the actual Hangar 24 Brewery. And the remote parking lot is right by Costco where the cheapest gas in the area is.
