Describe your race day.

It was wonderful. This was my first time doing Revel Mt. Charleston. The race was well organized.
I had a lot of fun and got to me some wonderful fellow runners.
The volunteers were fantastic.
Did you PR?

Yes I did. I wanted to get a sub 2 hours but that did not happen. I got cramps in my legs at mile 12. I did manage to get 2:01:31.22. My last half marathon was at Lake Powell on 10/15/16. This was given by Vacation Races. My time was 2:10:41. I was please with my PR. Got to work on the cramps though.
How would you describe the course?

The course was good. This was my first time running a mostly down hill race.
Tell us about your training.

I came up to Mt. Charleston on two occasions to test the down hill. I was told not to run to much down hill because of the wear and tear on the legs. My training could have been better. I need to do a better job to avoid getting cramps. My pacing needs some adjustment also.
What advice would you give future runners?

Start trying early.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

Took photos. Talked a lot to fellow runners. Checked out the vendors.
