Rock ‘n’ Roll San Jose Half Marathon Race Recap

Being part of the Rock ‘n’ Blog team this year has been so fun.  I ran the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Jose Half Marathon on September 27th, 2015.  It was perfect weather and a flat course.  My favorite part though was having race day VIP, which consisted of personal gear check, pre and post food, private indoor bathrooms and mimosas after the race.

The race didn’t start until 8:00am.  The half marathon and 10k runners all started in the same corrals.

It was pretty toasty since the race started later in the morning than a lot of half marathons.  The gatorade along the course was the most delicious thing I had ever tasted because I was sweating like crazy.

I finished and earned my medal, followed by a mimosa. 

The VIP area was in McCormick & Schmick’s downtown San Jose.  I was greeted with a menu and got to choose what I wanted to eat.  I went with the mushroom, spinach and goat cheese frittata and it was delicious.

After I finished eating I found Meb!!! I was so excited to meet him.  He runs a lot of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series races, so keep that in mind.

I had a great time and I totally recommend running Rock ‘n’ Roll San Jose, especially if you are looking for a PR.  Having VIP was amazing and totally worth it. I had a great race day.
