  2. Describe your race day.

    Parking was very easy; the only traffic jam was actually getting into the parking lot. Buses were there ready to go. Volunteers seemed well informed.

  3. Did you PR?

    Yes! My goal is always to finish a half under 3 hours. This half was my best, my time was 2:36! I do not participate in full marathons any more.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    I liked the course until the end. The last street along the tracks was a sideways uphill. Not enjoyable at the end of the run.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I run with a running club and am always in training. Fortunately, my running club is in Chino Hills and running hills is part of my training. I usually average running about 10 -15 miles weekly.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Train for hills, going up and down. Don't think running downhill works in a runner's favor. The long pounding on legs does take a toll on quads & shins. Dress in layers and use the throw away gloves.

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    Eating tacos, being able to lie on the grass and enjoy a good stretch. I travelled from the Corona area.
