  2. Describe your race day.

    1To run 26.2 with my daughter in her first marathon
    2 repeat #1!

  3. Did you PR?

    Nope, that wasn't the plan either

  4. How would you describe the course?

    The course was fine until mile 23 up hill with a 20 mph head wind ..... cruel! The grade was relatively consistent a little steeper early. The fact that there's no crowd support was awesome it actually adds to the uniqueness of the event.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    6-10 miles 2x a week then a standard long run build up peaking at 20 -22 miles 3x over 4 months.
    Added a -3% tread mill run every 10 days.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Work on the down hill techniques, shortened stride,lean into the hill etc.
    Cushion shoes but I'm a 205 lb guy, lip balm.

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

    We came from Southeast Missouri.
    Exploring the Mountains north of the city as well as the strip, and of course finding unique places to eat.
