Describe your race day.
Awesome gradual downhill course and I felt great. The road was recently resurfaced and felt good.
-
Did you PR?
No but that is because I had some health issues recently.
-
How would you describe the course?
Great downhill but not so steep that I had to hold myself back. Almost perfect really (the uphill into the wind at the 10 mile turn wasn't so great but it was short thank goodness!
-
Tell us about your training.
Do a little bit of hill training - up and down - that's what I did and it served me well.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
Let the hill take you down and go with it. I went much faster than I anticipated without anymore effort because of the hill.
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
After cleaning up afterward we went to the Paris Buffet in Vegas.
I didn't notice any mile marker after 11 miles and was surprised to see the finish line appear.
Thank you.
Thanks again.
