Describe your race day.
The race day was seamless as far as ease of getting there, being with my friends etc.
The biggest memory I have is running down the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains with all kinds of happy people. -
Did you PR?
No. I was not trying to PR. I chose to take my time and enjoy the beauty around me.
-
How would you describe the course?
The course was downhill with ~ 3 hills to conquer. Not difficult.
-
Tell us about your training.
I just ran a half 2 weeks ago so felt I could easily complete this. Next year, I will train more consistently on hills to PR.

What advice would you give future runners?
I suggest dressing in warm clothes in the morning before the race begins. It is cold and the solar blankets help but not enough. Wear clothes you can either turn in at the beginning of the race or toss. You can wear your clothes up until 1 minute before you start. The drop off van is RIGHT there. I advise:
Sweat pants, sweat shirt with hood, hand warmers and gloves. It would really help if there were heaters at the start line and/or bonfires for the half marathon people. -
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
This is the BEST run race I have done over the last 7 years. It was VERY organized for the runners. The bags contained gloves and a blanket. Wow. Who does that. The transportation to the race was excellent on the buses. The parking was easy. After the race, there was PIE. I mean, really, who does that? The post race food was delicious. The beer garden was crowded but efficient. No wait. Music was wonderufl. Received my time on a print out that was easy to read. I can go on and on. Do this race. In fact, travel to other states and do it. It was great.
