5/5 Stars

I thought this race was so well run. The bus transfer to the start line was very smooth, the race started exactly on time, there was plenty of space, bathrooms, aid stations, volunteers, etc., and the finish line/reception area was ideal. The course was just enough downhill that it was fast, but not so steep that my body took a crazy pounding it wasn't ready for. Overall, I could not have imagined a better experience!

Yes, by 10 minutes.

The scenery was mostly desert/mountains for the half, but it's Vegas, so it was nothing I wasn't expecting already. Like I said above, the grade was perfect in my opinion. Fast, but not too steep.

I had very little time to train in the months leading up to this, so of course I could have prepared better, but I'm still happy with the result. I'd just say to run downhill a few times in the weeks leading up to the race to get used to the adjustments in pace and positioning you have to make.

I heard the full marathoners got the full gamut of Vegas weather today, with snow at the start and hotter-than-ideal temps at the finish. But that's how Vegas is, and it's another challenge of this race. Every year weather will be unpredictable, as it is in most places, but Vegas weather in May is particularly fickle. So just keep that in mind.

Vegas is Vegas, so there's something for everyone. I live here, so most of that stuff downtown is rather boring to me. But there's plenty to do here, so that shouldn't be much of a concern.

Yes by 31 minutes! BQ'd

Beautiful. Quads sore at finish, but good course

Distances up to 20 miles with tempo runs and speed work. FAST training program method. Next time I'll incorporate more downhill runs.

Stay at a hotel close to the finish line NOT the starting line since there's no transportation back to the hotel.

Beautiful morning, cloudy. Easy parking and bus departure. Everything was clear and organized with a lot of people to keep things running smoothly. Loved the downhill course and the way they brought us back in to town. The aid stations were well run and well stocked with smiling faces and cheers greeting me. Revel puts in a great race!

No. I wasn't trying to. I am not in the shape I was to beat my 1:53 PR.

See question 2.

I was shocked at how well everything went. Revel was very organized and the swag was the best I have received in a race in a long time. The only thing missing was music/DJ at the start staging area. This would have helped with announcements and making the time go by.

Yes

Fast and the 1st half was beautiful.

I did not train for this race. I actually used this race a training run.

Train on the downhill. The last four miles for me was tough.

Ate pizza
