Shuttle has dropped me off near Terranea well before sunrise

Start - Finish line for the half marathon

Lexus Lace Up Pace car

Pace car is a Lexus LC 500

I meet up with Erik Geierman, a friend from Little League Baseball. Our initial selfie has a sign growing out of his head, so we decide to retake this

This is Erik and my first race together...but I know I won't be able to keep up. We reconnected after last year's Hills Are Alive 10K, a run I did not participate in.

Sunrise. Erik and I took a wrong turn and didn't catch this from an ideal vantage point

Starting corral is starting to fill up

I chose chicken empanadas from Piaggio Gourmet on Wheels for my post-race food truck brunch item. Would have been nice if I could made this a combo with a smoothie since I don't drink beer

Lexus IS

I parked in the Salvation Army College parking lot for a quick in and out

But how did my X get wet?

Post race lunch with Valerie at Eatalian...forgot how much I love their pizzas. This is the 8 Gi
