  2. Describe your race day.

    As usual, Revel organized the race well so it was easy to get to the start line. I'm much appreciative of the support from the volunteers along the course and at the finish. The weather was great. Surprisingly, the wind was more of an attribute instead of a hindrance, particularly from miles 21 to 23.

  3. Did you PR?

    Yes

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Great. I'm being overly critical, but the out-and-back should be eliminated. The loop around the parking lot last year near mile 5 was better. But I know Revel can only control so much.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    Did Revel Canyon City Marathon in November then trained for and completed the LA Marathon in March. So, only had 6 weeks to get ready for Mt. Charleston. Regardless, I was still able to PR by 3 minutes.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Study and know the course. You need to save your legs for the final 5 miles or you'll be in trouble. And drive ithe course in advance!

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    Travel with friends. Had lunch in the Mt. Charleston Lodge the day before.
