Describe your race day.
Cold and dark. Initially thought I was mentally and physically prepared.
-
Did you PR?
Yes. PR of 3:48.20. Previous PR was 4:20.00 at LA Marathon. No BQ (3:35 for my age bracket).
-
How would you describe the course?
Beautiful scenery. Switchbacks. Rolling hills. Lots of slanting roads-very tough on a nagging foot injury that I've been dealing with.
-
Tell us about your training.
I underestimated my ability to do hills.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
DO NOT DRINK THE HORCHATA ENERGY DRINK! Ugh! Made me nauseous.
I did not prepare for the altitude/aridness of the climate. I became dehydrated a lot faster than I realized and paid for it after the race.
Layer layer layer! -
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Nothing. It's Azusa.
