Describe your race day.
This course is beautiful and fast! the weather was perfect too.
-
Did you PR?
Yes! by 1:45! I got BQ also by 14 minutes.
-
How would you describe the course?
Fast and beautiful. The turn around at mile 24? I believe was rough- into a strong headwind and uphill.
-
Tell us about your training.
I trained for downhill on a treadmill at 3% grade. My teammates who did the half did not do any downhill training and were complaining about pain in quads @ 4 miles into their race. I thought the downhill was amazingly helpful but I trained for it.
-
What advice would you give future runners?
train for downhill and then do this race if you want to BQ!
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
Went to old Vegas- Freemont street. Went to see the fountains at the Bellagio. Traveled from Atlanta Ga.
Great race! Just make sure the bus drivers know how to get to the start. That made me nervous.
