Loves it all!
Everything about Revel Mt. Charleston was won-der-ful! From the moment I registered until finish line festivities, I was very pleased with my race expereince.
I certainly set a PR! I PR'd by 4:00 and yes, I met the qualification mark for a BQ, but not sure if i'll be accepted into the race because I only beat my qualification time by 2:45.
Beautiful and fast!
I trained for 16 weeks (4x4 week cycles) with 3 weeks build, 1 week recovery in each cycle. I practiced downhill on two of my long runs.
PRACTICE DOWNHILL! Strength train the small muslces.
It's Vegas, can't write about that.
it was a cold start, everything was very organized....except the start - mat vs. start line was a bit confusing.
yes!
scenery was amazing and the course was perfect except the uphill being towards the end of the race.
Excellent
Yes, beat my PR by 2 minutes
Very good
20 to 25 miles per week, with some downhill training
Don't give up...mind, body and soul/sole
Traveled from Casper WY, 3rd Revel race
Goodness I love @runrevel races. I highly recommend them and here are 5 reasons why. 1. Great swag! The women's tanks were well cut, we got socks in our bags and they let us personalize our bibs. 2. Beautiful courses. The landscape for the #RevelMtCharleston was otherworldly with a gorgeous desert
No BUT I totally will next year!
Gorgeous desert landscape!
I was definitely under trained but I am determined to come back next year stronger than ever!
Train the down hill!
We stayed at the Station Santa Fe Casino and we went to the movies after the race. Perfect relaxing activity!
LOVED this race!
I thought everything was well done. I don't have any complaints. The only thing that I was disappointed in was the 1:40 pacer. He went out WAY too fast.
Yes. This was only my third half marathon, but it was definitely a PR. I could not imagine a better course for a PR. You guys even had a perfect tail wind for the last five miles.
The course was great. The first eight miles were a perfect grade of downhill (not too steep). The only thing I noticed was that the hill from mile ten to eleven was not on any of the elevation charts I ever saw. It was not a steep hill, but I was definitely surprised to hit it.
Downhill treadmill training worked great. I appreciated the advice to do downhill training no more than every 10-14 days.
Watch out for the cones. The beginning of the race was a bit too crowded for the 3/4 of a lane that was marked off. I ended up running into a cone and falling over. This was partly due to the crowd, but also the sun which was rising right in front of us.
I was in town for work and did not have much free time.
Awesome! The wind was behind us!!!!
I did!!!!!!!! Last year, 2:31. This year, 2:09.
So beautiful and fast!!!! I love downhill.
Orangetheory, Las Vegas Athletic Club (Brian Catanio). Running all over the place! I will run more next year....not more but longer. Run long distances!!!!!
I am in no position to give any advice since I am old and slow!!!! Just enjoy the course!
I live here!
Thank you so much for this race. Thanks to all of you who are in charge!!! Great job!
I already did!!! Ha ha.
Exhilarating!!
Great course. I would have liked to start in the pines, but overall the course was good.
Thank you for organizing a great run!
How cold and beautiful it was.
I did by about 3 minutes
I liked how open it was and that it didn't feel crowded exceptformaybe the first mile or two. The course was really pretty. The traffic control was great and you never felt in danger of a car hitting you. I would recommend more aid stations though. There didn't seem to be many at spots where really needed like the back half of the race
I race triathlon so didn't train specifically for this race. I might add in some hills if I want to do the marathon.
Bring warm layers! I didn't bring enough.
Ate pie. Couldn't find the sign/step repeat to take pictures after. Went to the strip after and just hung at our pool. Came from So Cal so didn't spend much time in LV
Thought it was a great race. Well run and so many little things were thought about and taken care of. I'll be back

4/5 Stars
Great day. Chilly start, but otherwise great. Race was great, fast. Wonderful views coming down the mountain.
Yes, I PR'd by 5 minutes to finally break 1.45 in the half! (Came in at 1.42.05)
Half was a more gentle grade than I had anticipated.
I didn't include much downhill training, and am paying for that still a few days later!
Train on the downhill, make sure you recover correctly. My hotel didn't have baths, so no ice bath for me!
Lots of eating! And outlet shopping.
