Describe your race day.

Great weather, great course, nice buses stayed for us to stay warm. Had blood pressure drop to low after the race and medics were wonderful. Would have loved to fine Chocolate milk at the finish. The pie was surprising good after a run.
Did you PR?

No but very close.
How would you describe the course?

Crazy nice first 8 miles the little up and down at the end took it out of me. The scenery was nice but the gray sky dimmed it.
Tell us about your training.

Coming off injury so training was not super. Did lots of hills focusing on down hill form. Altitude was a non-issue for the half.
What advice would you give future runners?

Run it! If you train well it will get you a PR.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Enjoyed the Las Vegas Strip for the very first time. Ended the day after total milage for the day of just shy of 30 miles. great to keep sore legs moving.
