Small, fun race. 5k, 10k, 15k, and Half Marathon. Most folks ran the 5k.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretches, iced right knee.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

IT Band tightened up at mile 4; had to concentrate on running easy and minimizing hard striking on ground. Traveled cross country the day before and was not rested - bonked out at mile 9; body was too tired and I simply ran out of fuel. I just focused on enjoying the run and the scenery. Awesome to be back in Cali running!

Event comments:

Great run if you are looking for small and affordable run. Rocket Racing Productions puts on lots of small races.
