  2. Describe your race day.

    For my first Half Marathon, everything about the race is memorable.
    -The long line of buses taking us up to the start - with a super nice driver, and they let us stay on the warm bus at the start line for awhile.
    -All the volunteers were pleasant, smiling, informative
    -The course was amazingly beautiful. The weather was perfect, a cool start that slowly warmed as you descend into the valley.
    -The beanie was a nice touch for the cool start.
    -Crossing the finish line with a friend with goal "to just finish". Sometimes its not about the time, but the fact that you cross the finish line.
    The course was partitioned off beautifully - we never once had to cross an intersection that wasn't either closed off or directed by the Las Vegas Police Dept. An extremely well defined and controlled course.
    I would HIGHLY recommend this race to everyone.
    Loved all the photographers on the course and can't wait to see the pictures!
    Loved the ability to have texts sent showing where we were on course and what projected times were.
    Loved all the finish line goodies!
    The medal was REALLY nice!
    When can we sign up for next years race? :-)

  3. Did you PR?

    Well it was my First Half Marathon so YES, hahaha.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    The scenery was amazing. The cloud cover made for unique skies contrasting with the snowy mountain peaks.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I would tell others to make sure you train with a long downhill stretch included with your regular training.

  6. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    I live in Las Vegas so nothing out of the ordinary. We did have a post race BBQ and Derby day celebrations.
