Describe your race day.
I had an incredible experience except for three things. There were no oranges or electrolyte beverages at the finish, all of the mile marker signs were blown over by the wind so you couldn't see what mile you were at (need better mile markers) and most importantly, the buses were one hour late. All of our legs were sore and freezing up and we waited an hour for the buses to show up. Terrible!!!!!
-
Did you PR?
Yes by almost one hour and I Boston Qualified at my first attempt.
-
How would you describe the course?
Awesome! Except for the strong winds near Mile 22 or 23. Also I didn't like that the final miles of the course kept changing up until the race. You need to do a better job at finalizing the course before the race.

Tell us about your training.
I train with the San Diego Track Club. I am also an avid vegan for 3.5 years. Just goes to show you, you don't have to harm and eat animals to be an outstanding athlete.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Run this race!
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
We had the best vegan burger at Red Robin after the race while wearing our long sleeve race shirts, which we loved!!!!!! Great shirts!
First experience at a Revel Race and I will run more of your races. Thanks for giving us the option to have you mail our packets to us before we arrive so we didn't have to attend the Expo. We drove from out of town and that made it less stressful. Thank you.
That is all.
