Describe your race day.
The race was super organized from the buses (I was one who didn't get on a bus at Revel Rockies). Great support and fantastic course. Screaming fast!! MC at the finish was hysterical and I stuck around just to listen to him!!
-
Did you PR?
I did PR by 4 mins, BQ by 18+ mins! I ran Boston in a few months ago and had a bad race so I came here to BQ for 2017. I will do Boston to Mt Charleston in 2017!

How would you describe the course?
Cool at the start, steeper at the start, more gentle slope as we went down. Last 5 were more flat...not too steep as I was concerned about that....
-
Tell us about your training.
I admit I read the Revel training page 3 days before but the advice was great---lean at the hips and short quick steps!
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Let gravity help you, be comfortable going faster but don't push too much in the steep miles. Stay in North LV and bring throw away to the start
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Go to the strip after! We came from CO so it's nice and warm here!
We are very glad we tried Revel again after the R Rockies bus fiasco. Great race!! One of my faves!!!
Will be back again next year
