4/5 Stars
I had a great day. The race seems to be a little long which isn't a huge deal to me but it did surprise me so I missed my best case scenario goal by 18 seconds.
Yes I had a PR by 9 minutes and a BQ by about 50 minutes.
The course was good. I wouldn't call it scenic except I live in and love the desert. It is a much nicer, more casual downhill grade than Big Cottonwood.
I train super hard, race results are secondary to me. I ran a peak of 90 miles and did 1160 miles in my 15 weeks of training.
Enjoy the run, don't get too hung up on results.
I didn't... We got in to town Friday night and left 2 hours after finishing.
I walked to the gate of the runners area and stood next to the girl at the gate while I hugged my wife. I was then told I could NOT re-enter! This is an absolute crock of crap especially since she could see me within 4 feet of the gate. Also, get some freaking chocolate milk. It is the only thing I want after a race. I can't eat solid food without being ill and I NEED the recovery carbs. I wound up going to Walmart to buy my own. In my opinion no chocolate milk is a deal breaker!
Had a blast running with my friends was able to beat my personal record from rock n roll marathon 2 yrs ago very pleased with the result.Over all the event was a memorable one.
Yes
The first 9 miles I was cruising nice pace and then by 10 miles its all mind over my feet debating if i should stop and and walk the next 4 miles. The last mile my feet was heavy and crying but managed to pushed through the finish lone
I ran 3 times over 2 miles outdoor then3 times treadmill sprinting running for 45 mins and did a 10 k three days before the race.
Just enjoy and have fun
Just picture taking with friends
Thank you and hopefully I can try to push myself and train better for the next race.
The day was wonderful. The course was great ( although I hated the uphill at 24). The organization was as good as it gets and the volunteers were always prepared and ready as you approached. Great race. Also the coach plan was well worthwhile. Paul put together a plan that worked!
No but my PR in a marathon was 35 years ago
Fast. Hard on the legs but all marathons are.
I have my own coach but also used Revel. Paul was great
Run this race. Stay at the lodge cabins at the start.
Staying on the strip and going to a spa
Amazing. Met new people, loved the course and so organized and many options
Yes by over 8 min
Beautiful and peaceful
Training 4 times a weekPractice down and then up and level last 3 need more practice
Just enjoy
We live here
Truly steady down hill....
Yes I PRd!!! No not where I need to be for Boston but I'll be back next year !
Steady downhill course .... should PR here no problem!
I focused on long runs on Saturday or Sunday... and shorter run during the week , hill work , speed work are part of my short run training ... and finally balance training with the gym , swimming ect...
This one is all downhill , you need to have some training that gets your body adjusted... clothes are personal , it is cold at the start on this race , but warms up significantly as you hit mile 5/6...
This is Vegas!!! What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas !#getrachet
I would only challenge one thing... more water stations as you get into higher mileage ... anything after 19 miles may require more then the standard ... outside of that loved it ! Really good job !!!!!
Great race! It was organized and well thought out. I would do it again!
No
Fun
I should have trained more.
Train
Loved taking pictures with your sign!
Thanks for everything!
Great race day. Loved the course. The out and back on the frontage road was brutal.
I had a masters PR. I had faster times in my 30's
Loved the downhill but am really beat up after completing it. Didn't like the out and back on the frontage road. I didn't care for the distances the timing stations were set up. First quarter, 12.5 and third quarter. I find it confusing. I did like the one at the last mile. My husband was tracking me and knew exactly when to be at the finish.
I focused on downhill but I did Boston 11 days before this race.
Train downhill. 20 miles of downhill sounds great but it is really hard on the bod!
Lots of good food.
I will be back and bring friends. Thanks for the great event. Loved the purple shirt and socks.
Absolutely fabulous...with exception of the wind...an amazingly well ran event!
No. Was not trying to set a PR or get a BQ. Just needed. Spring marathon for training. Will definitely put this run at the top of this list when I want to set those goals again.
Magnificent!!! The Mt Charleston area is gorgeous and then drop into the beauty of the desert. But the road and trade were a perfect decent and even the last 6 miles were motivating and enjoyable with no shocking hills. The support was outstanding with adequate port a potties, well stocked replacement and friendly volunteers.
Focused on Training for a full Ironman so am in a base building phase. Training was not for speed or a PR. Did some downhill training runs for long run as the Revel training recommend and was very helpful.
Lots of layers using throw away clothes to peel as you go, pretty chilly at the start. Apply sunscreen even though it is cold you will get burnt in the spectalarly sunny Nevada sunshine. And do some quality down hill training runs as they recommend.
Short hike at Red Rock Canyon before packet pick up to loosen legs after the flight. Lunch at Yard house at the Red Rock Casino which was pretty close to packet pickUp. Although expo was sort of small great vendors and fun shopping! Got a couple a fantastic deals on great equipment. Pool time at the condo for post race recovery....ahhhh!!!!
