    2. 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.

    3. Did you PR?

      No but I wasn't trying to. I did do it 15 minutes faster!

    4. 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.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I didn't train much because of an injury

    6. 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.

    7. 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

      Great logistics for the parking, transportation, bag pick-up, start, aid stations, # of bathrooms. finish line with bios (this was ssssooooo great!!), medics (I just wanted to sit for a few minutes). . pizza! Apple pie!!

      This is a BQ for me. (by over 3 hours for the Mobility Impaired Division!).

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Challenging downhill for someone like me in leg braces and a cane, but doable . .. I looked at the course profile, but I missed how much uphill there was from miles 13.5-21!
      Very pretty up top. . very interesting down lower with the quarries/lakes.Yhis is

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I would try to find more downhill to train on . ..

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Run more downhill. .then find uphill to go after, too!

      Only things I can think to improve . . more pacing groups for the slower runners of the marathon.
      Chocolate milk at the finish. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT EVENT!!! Dr. Bryon Solberg, #2003 for the 26.2

    2. Describe your race day.

      Great day shared with 35+ other LA Leggers. Loved the downhill. Good organization and enjoyed that the course was not crowded.

    3. Did you PR?

      5 minute PR, 24 minute BQ.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Huge of very fast downhill offset by 4 large hills. Very fast overall. Scenery running down the canyon is great.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I used a customized 16 week training program from McMillan Running coupled with 3 training runs on the course (16, 19 and 22 miles) with group from LA Leggers. Coach Larry allowed us to use his support on course during training runs which was a definite plus. I definitely recommend that others train on the course to become acclimated to steep downhill and to the hills that don't clearly show on the course map.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Run comfortably allowing the downhill to propel without over striding. Also, save something for the uphills between 14 and 21.

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

      Mostly just hanging out with friends and cheering for them.

      We live in Sherman Oaks.
