Describe your race day.
Great! I love the downhill! Ran w a friend who struggled so i left her and BQ'd. Ran barefoot for a while because my shoes were hurting... Lol
YOU NEED PEOPLE RUBBING ICYHOT ON CALFS AT MILE 19... PLEASE!
Also coke and pepsi at finish line. -
Did you PR?
Yes. I usually run a 4 hr marathon. I got 3:52 but could have done better if i hadnt waited for friend. I will be 45 at boston next year so that makes it a BQ! Right?
-
How would you describe the course?
Downhill till mile 21, a few rises... No biggie.. then flat... Start praying.
-
Tell us about your training.
Tues, thurs 4 to 6 miles. Long runs on sat. I actually spent 2 wks in italy in April so i didnt get my 20 miler. Oh well... Im over it.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Laquinta only 10 min away... Has late checkout!
Course.... Train downhill if possible and plan on sore calfs.
We did Olive Garden but usually do a salad or sandwich place. Vegas has plenty of choices.
I wore the mt char race shirt. Loved it! But i do wish i had my tank top on. It warmed up.
My shoes. Ugh. I struggled thru my entire training w my shoes causing lots of psin to my toes. Finally decided to wear new saucony for race day! Toe pain held off till mike 23 yay! BUT i did wear the REVEL socks... LOVED THEM.
windy weather.... Actually wasnt to bad till the out n back.... -
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Food. Lol
We traveled from Mesquite, NV
You need people rubbing icy hot on calfs at aid stations after mile 19. And coke and pepsi at finish line. Ask elks. Loved the charter busses!!! Thanks!
