  2. Describe your race day.

    Weather forecast was scary with 32 degree, snow, rain but turned out to be a great race weather. I dresses like onion with many layers. Shuttle driver was lost missed the left turn, we had about extra 10 mile drive.

  3. Did you PR?

    Yes. My time at Revel Azusa was 3:39:27, did 3;36;08 nicer cushion for BQ . My qaulifying time is 3:40

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Loved it. Run aid stations and CHP support was great.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    Speed work once a week, weekday tempo run, 2 long runs (10 - 12miles) on the weekend back to back days to get the marathon feeling on the legs without running 18-20+ miles.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    carbo load the entire week leading to the race not the last night, no training the entire last week, rest, recover entirely be ready for your big day.

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

    Not much go over your nutrition plans, some socializing.
