  2. Describe your race day.

    I took a Lyft from my hotel to the buses. I walked from the entrance of la Mariposa to the buses as the traffic was backed up. This was not a huge deal, but I would have been a bit nervous if I couldn’t have walked. The scenery was amazing and the weather was perfect. .

  3. Did you PR?

    I did not PR as I have had a Achilles injury and didn’t push myself. However, I commented to a friend that I believe I coiuld PR on this course if I was healthy.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    I have run most of the other Revel races and really like them all. I believe this course is my new favorite due to the scenery, the elevation, and the grade. I like that it is truelly almost all downhill and it isn’t too steep.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    Unfortunately I was limited to what I could do for my training due to my injury. My advice would be to train downhill. I would encourage a lot of squats and lunges and hills.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    I flew in early Friday morning. I took Lyft to my hotel and then to the expo. This worked well. I then took Lyft back to my hotel where I enjoyed the sunshine by the pool. Walked around the area near my hotel to find dinner. I wore a tank top for the race. But had a sweatshirt on until it started and put it on my drop bag. Bring a change of shoes in your drop bag for after the race.

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

    I flew in from Denver. I didn’t really have a lot of time
    To explore the area.
