Describe your race day.
Woke up around 3am, try to eat some oatmeal, brought a couple of granola bars, also put some hot water into a canteen container, drove to the La Mariposa Resort where the volunteers directed the cars to park. Try to remember where I park in the dark, walked to the bus. Thought about waiting for the 2nd or 3rd bus, but got on the 1st bus. Was able to stay in the community center to keep warm and they had a place to get hot drinks opened that early.

Did you PR?
No, I did not PR. My PR was at Big Bear. I think my next one and the fastest will be Kulia. I was off by 20 minutes of my Big Bear PR, I did not qualify for Boston.

How would you describe the course?
Tough course that 1st 4 miles and I couldn't get my breath back after that. It was tougher than it looks. Couldn't run my pace after that 1st 4 miles.

Tell us about your training.
Need to practice running uphill. Those uphill just takes your breath away and you don't have the energy to run after that. Listen to coach Paul, practice running uphill. See how much energy is spent and do you still have enough energy to run after that uphill. You won't be able to get that breath back right away, but need a few miles just to get situated again.

What advice would you give future runners?
Find an easier course like Big Bear or Kulia! If you can find the Nike Vaporfly 4%, use that during the marathon, it really is fast. There's a nice Chinese buffet by the Sonata ES hotels on Speedway!
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
After waking up at 3am and going to the marathon, the most fun thing I did was went to sleep after coming back from the marathon (after showering of course!) The hotel did have good water pressure for the shower unlike other hotels I stayed at where they have low pressure water.
