Describe your race day.

I got there super early since I didn't wanna be late & I heard that once you get off of the freeway it would take 25 minutes to get to the parking lot.....it took less than a minute. I was kinda of thrown of & a little mad I got there super early but it was okay. I liked how there were a ton of volunteers cheering you on! I wish there was a national anthem at the beginning of the race & also some one to pump you up before. But it was an awesome course!!
Did you PR?

It was my first half marathon & I ran an awesome time!!
How would you describe the course?

All down hill with the exception of the first two hills but it was beautiful scenery.
Tell us about your training.

I usually run long distance when I work out but I only trained up to the 7 miles.
What advice would you give future runners?

Don't have a burger the day before & just relax when you're running & have fun with it! Make sure you double knot you're shoes!
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live about 30 minutes away from evergreen so after I went home & slept !
