Describe your race day.
The conditions were great, the people were a lot of fun, the volunteers were dynamite, and I got a ton of encouragement!
Since this was my first half marathon, a group of people attempting to run it in two hours gave me great advice, and helped me have my best and fastest mile between mile six and seven. -
Did you PR?
Since this was my first half marathon I did a personal record of two hours and seven minutes, not sure that was the official time, but it's what I clocked on my own device.

How would you describe the course?
I thought the course was ideal, especially for a first timer. The downhill course for the first 7 miles or so help me pick up a good steady pace and the flats toward the last part of the course were very manageable.

Tell us about your training.
I don't know that I really trained for this. I didn't find out about this particular race until a week before hand when a friend suggested I do it. I have been running for about a year, and I've been running between 5 and 7 miles at a time for the past nine months or so.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Make sure you got proper gear before doing this. I was fortunate in that I was able to buy new shoes before hand from people who run these races regularly. They also recommended a few other items and all that made it a much more manageable run.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
It's Las Vegas, so I was able to jump right into the debauchery of it all!
