  2. Describe your race day.

    The Revel people put on a great race.

  3. Did you PR?

    Nope, and I was disappointed, but the first 4 miles - at altitude - ensured that I wouldn't.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Aggregate surface is hard on the legs. Severely cantilevered doesn't help. Not deal killers but just be prepared for a workout. Not factors for the half marathon, but 26 miles of pounding punishes the legs.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    This was my 27th marathon so I know what I'm doing, BUT I should have put in more miles.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Train for the course you will run, i.e., hills (up and down), at altitude (if possible), run faster/longer in training.

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    Ha, ha. Tucson is not exactly Las Vegas.

    Great downhill course if you can survive the road surface and cantilever.
