Describe your race day.
This was my first Half Narathon. I was excited and nervous and then we were off. I wasn't expecting quite so many steep inclines but I kept putting one foot in front of the other and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I loved reading and laughing at the encouragement signs along the way. The water and aid stations were well thought out and the people at them were so encouraging. I will never forget this day.
-
Did you PR?
This was my first one, so no.
-
How would you describe the course?
It has beautiful scenery and a lot of steep hills.
-
Tell us about your training.
I trained to run intervals and kept to a half marathon training schedule. If I do this race in the future I will train more uphill as that was my struggle.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Dress in layers because it is cold at the top and warm at the bottom.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
I traveled from the high desert (VictorValley). We met up with our group, took pictures, and encouraged each other as we had varying levels of participants.
As your first race, you *did* PR ;-) That's now your time to beat!
