Describe your race day.

Scenery and down hills.
Did you PR?

None of the below. I was coming off a little lay off from racing and just wanted to test and see where I stand. I missed PR by 2 minutes and 9 minutes for BQ. Good race and I am going to try for BQ next year
How would you describe the course?

Very good, lot of downhills but it's not an easy course. A lot of toll on the body, especially, legs
Tell us about your training.

Good thing that I did leg weight training and ran hilly courses once a week. Add calf raises and little more intense leg weight training and speed training
What advice would you give future runners?

Easy to locate shuttle parking, wear lots of layers when heading up to the starting line and take a good nap in the bus because it's an hour drive. I wish the race would start maybe half an hour earlier.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

From Los Angeles, pretty much returned home after sharing the experience with my running group mates
