Describe your race day.

I had a great day. The first 13 miles of down hill were fast miles! I met a new friend driving up on the bus and now we are connected on social media. I really enjoyed the helpers and the beautiful scenery.
Did you PR?

No but I wasn't trying to. I did do it 15 minutes faster!
How would you describe the course?

Absolutely breath taking. Hills are amazing with all the tall beautiful trees. The down hill is intense then the rolling hills are perfect. I loved the last 2 miles. They were broken up nicely.
Tell us about your training.

I didn't train much because of an injury
What advice would you give future runners?

Waiting at the top for the race to start is freezing so bring clothes to drop in your bag.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

None. I came from Ventura county and had to head home fast.

If I were to give a critique it would be this: the busses that drove up are way too big for the skinny windy roads on the way up. There were cones I. The middle of the road that made it harder for the drivers to stay on the road. There were several times that I was really scared that we were going to drive of the cliff. Our bus hit a flat tire bc the driver was trying to make a tight turn. Maybe use smaller busses. Just sayin
