Describe your race day.

The entire race is such a beautiful experience! The views are always breathtaking!
Did you PR?

I didn't PR this year as I got some amazing blisters on my toes...
How would you describe the course?

The course is one of my best ones for a marathon! The start elevation is my favorite part! The rolling hills after mile 13 make this race pretty challenging!
Tell us about your training.

My training was just on point! What really worked for me was the incorporation of weight training, focusing on upper body, hip flexors, quads, hamstrings and calves!
What advice would you give future runners?

Train on form, downhills seem easy, but they are not. Dress in layers, hydrate your body properly.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Not too much... I traveled from Downtown Los Angeles & I'm not too familiar with the Azusa area.
