  2. Describe your race day.

    Woke at 3:30, was given a brown bag snack bag at the hotel and went to the venue. There isn't anything I would change with this are - it was the best I've ever done. Great course, great course support, great volunteers!!! My most memorable part of the race was making that left turn after the long decent after mile 25 and a volunteer yelled "great pace - you're going to PR'. I told him I was going to PR by 45 minutes and the entire aid station started cheering me on!!! just what I needed at that point in the race. Kudos to all the volunteers and race officials.

  3. Did you PR?

    Yes . . . officially by 38 minutes. I did qualify for Boston

  4. How would you describe the course?

    AWESOME!!! Could have done without that long incline between 16 and 17!!!

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I'm a sporadic trainer!!! I ran a Ragnar last week, a 13 miles run the week before and a 21 miles run the week before. Shorter runs in-between 145 miles in October.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    DO THIS RACE - if you're looking for a marathon. Great experience

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    Got in late on Friday night. But did go to an great Mexican Restaurant after the race. We only travelled from Huntington Beach.

    My friend did the half and I did the full - we both felt the same way afterwards. Great finish line activities, booths etc.
