Owen ran in the Palos Verdes 5K, (during the marathon) on the coast cliffs near Long Beach. It was a drizzley rain day, and a hilly course. He came in at 19:22, 5th OA, and PR. Great time Owen!
Palos Verdes 05.14.11 – Community marathon it is but for a great charitable cause. You can register the morning of the race. The views of the Pacific Ocean are the only high point outside of the HILLS HILLS HILLS and more HILLS. A little drizzle during the marathon was bearable. Mental toughness is required as you past the finish line three times before it is actually your finish. Running back through the original starting line is no fun. It felt more like a long run around some neighborhoods rather than a marathon. Water stops has minimal water and even less electrolyte drinks. They use the old school chips. Less than 1 foot after crossing the finish line, you are expected to stop suddenly so they can collect the chips. A practice long run at best.
