Describe your race day.
Fun; beautiful scenery; 1st 8 miles are downhill course; body shock on mile 10 uphill;
-
Did you PR?
Yes-previous time was Napa Destination race at 2:43 and this race was 2:42;
Could have improved on that time by a few more minutes; -
How would you describe the course?
Very fun; relaxing downhill running for the 1st 8 miles;
Beautiful scenery; thankful for the city police protection throughout the course; -
Tell us about your training.
Weekend running long miles; 3-4 miles during week; Treadmill training as well;
I would maintain same training for this race;
We do not want to get spoiled by downhill racing only! -
What advice would you give future runners?
Be prepared to use muscles for downhill running;
Endurance training still required; -
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
We traveled from Boulder Colorado;
We stayed at the Santa Fe Station Hotel & Casino which was perfect for the race;
We flew in on Thursday; walked the strip Thursday night;
Weather in city was very windy and cool; could not relax at the pool!
Thanks for a great race and a great weekend!
We recommend this race and will definitely register for next years - Mt Charleston.
My wife & I still talk about the race -
