Describe your race day.

This was my first full marathon. Loved the weather, not like regular desert weather in this season. Everything was well organized starting from race packet pickup. All volunteers were very supportive and friendly. Loved the revel. Would like to do more races in future.
Did you PR?

Yes as this was my first and I did a good job. Last 3-4 miles were tough but I enjoyed and very much satisfied. No Boston,
How would you describe the course?

Course was great, loved the scenery. Last few miles were tough for me but may be because it was my first. Would like to do again next year for sure.
Tell us about your training.

Training went well. I included few down hill runs in Red Rock canyon. 22 miles was my distance before this during training.
What advice would you give future runners?

Do include downhill running in your training if you are going to run revel.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live here in Vegas only so nothing extra during the race time
