Describe your race day.
However you ordered that snow fall right at the gun start was brilliant! WOW!!! and all 9 of my friends met or exceeded their goals and we're all happy!
-
Did you PR?
No PR but I did get a BQ and I definitely think this is a PR course. I've just been more fit in the past!
-
How would you describe the course?
It was awesome! Not as steep as I anticipated from your website and driving it the day before made me a little nervous it wouldn't be as fast I thought. But I was pleasantly surprised at the rhythm I was able to get into. Last four miles were really tough for me but that's pretty normal!
-
Tell us about your training.
Went great! Tried to downhill for long runs.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Hmmm...I guess just stick with what you know works for you. And weather you can't control just hope the rest of your years are as awesome as today was!
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Not much! Dinner and a little shopping. Came from St George, Utah about a 100 miles north of Las Vegas.
I thought this race was awesome and I Love how Revel Does things. I Kinda felt like an elite athlete with free race photos, free gloves and beanie, and charter buses. And I love your refund policy. (Thankful I didn't have to use it) You found an awesome course with this one. If I had two suggestions they would be ice cold water at the finish line, I wanted some soooo bad!!! Also, coke at the finish line and maybe at some of the aid stations. I've learned from triathlons that coke gives you quick energy and settles your stomach. I wish marathons would start offering it:) Thanks for an amazing race!!
