Describe your race day.

The views on the course we're magnificent!
Did you PR?

Since this was my first half, I supose I did PR! I'm sure I wasn't even close to qualifying Boston! However, I crossed the finish line upright!
How would you describe the course?

I would NOT describe the course as "all down hill "as I was told by my "friends"! There are some long strenuous up hill climbs, with the relief of some long fast down hill runs. The mountains and canyons are breath taking.
Tell us about your training.

Interval training worked well. I'm not an advanced runner and am not qualified to give advice.
What advice would you give future runners?

Be sure to drink water!
Layer your clothes! It's cold up there! Be courteous and drop blankets and clothing on the side not on the course.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Didn't do much of anything. We came from the High Desert of SoCal. Apple Valley
