Describe your race day.
It snowed the first few miles, then rained once we got down. How cool is that? Perfect weather.
-
Did you PR?
Not sure, my first marathon since age 31. My only goal was not to get picked up by the slowpoke wagon, so I guess YES. Sorry I don't know my qualifying time for the Boston Marathon.
-
How would you describe the course?
Very smooth transition from the sudden downhill pass to the gentle up hills that transitions into flat course until the finish line. Great for new biggeners in marathon running.
-
Tell us about your training.
I don't do serious training, run 6 miles few times a week around the neigborhood. I would be more serious about training for a marathon. Get expert advice on setting up a work/training calender and follow it religiously. And eating right is also an essential part of training.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Train, train, train and do Mt Charleston if it's your first Marathon or you just want a fun course. Travel tips: Came to Las Vegas, tourist friendly place. Course tips: take advantage of the downhills, dress in layers, tie your shoes in "heel lock" fashion toavoid ankle blisters- weather tips? Hope we have the same next year

What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Went gambling, ate and shopped a little. I drove from San Bernardino after work(am) easy, no brainer 3hr drive
(Okay, I did a little speeding here and there)
