Comments:

I felt prepared for the distance but was concerned about the hills. I kept a good pace through out the race. Mile seven was tough(Walnut Street) Other than that I feel that I ran a good race. I finished strong and passed about 10 people in the last 3/4 mile.

What would you do differently?:

Get some hill training in. That is rather difficult in Long Beach.

Post race

HILLS.
