The Orange County Marathon served as a tune-up race for her first marathon coming up in March, the LA Marathon. In this half marathon, which was about two months after her previous race and pr, she knocked off another 14 minutes of her previous best time and came away with an unofficial 1:45:01. The official time should be within a few seconds as I clocked just as she stepped over the start and finish thresholds. Great job, Valerie Foo!
