Describe your race day.

Left home at 4 AM and got to the parking lot about 4:20AM. We then were directed to the parking lots and found some great parking. Got on one of the many buses with no issues and got up to the top at around 5:15AM. There were plenty of bathrooms to use and had no issues from start to finish. I enjoyed the beautiful course, the downhill parts and the race day atmosphere.
Did you PR?

Yes! This was my first half marathon.
How would you describe the course?

Mostly downhill with about three parts that are definitely uphill. Didn't like those so much. Great scenery.
Tell us about your training.

I started training ten weeks ago. Ran three days a week. Long runs on Saturday's.
What advice would you give future runners?

Bring a jacket and pants for the cool morning air. If it looks like rain have a rain jacket to bring . Use your gear check bag to put them in before the race. No reason to be cold and that is what the bags are for.
