Describe your race day.
From the expo to the finish line the race was a perfect experiance. Very well organized. The only slight issue was with drop bags. At the finish they were not in a secure enclosure, they were right next to the public sidewalk. I was tired so asked my partner to find mine, he did so easilly, however as no one asked to see a bib, any member of the public could have walked past and taken any bag they wanted. A closed area with several volunteers would resolve that problem in the future.

Did you PR?
Yes I did PR by 21 minutes.
-
How would you describe the course?
The grade was not too steep to make running difficult. There were not too many runners to make overtaking difficult. The scenery was beautiful and the police did a great Job of traffic control.

Tell us about your training.
I would need to be better prepared for the last 3-4 miles. Without the advantage of generous downhill, fatigue hits you fast on the last section. Practicing running on tired legs could have helped with that.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
The start can be freezing, so come prepared for that. Also try and pace yourself to have energy left for the final flat section of the cource.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
It was too cold to do anything fun before the race.....after the race, I got a bottle of water, a cold cloth and headed for home.
I traveled 40 miles from Redondo Beach
One of the most enjoyable races I have run.
