Comments:

No pit stops, which was unexpected, as we didn't get down there in time for pre-race port-o-let. 1st half was great. Planned to stay at 8 min pace until mile 15 (and did). Felt good at half. Mile 15-21 was fantastic, as I completely turned loose. Form tackled by the wall at mile 21 (expected to hit it at 16) and started walking water tables at 24. Gu's at 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20. Drank Cytomax often, and got water at each table except 1. Stomach couldn't take any more calories after mile 20. Overall good race, as my goal was 3:30.
What would you do differently?:

Not much; ran my race and kept to the plan.

Course: GPS measured 26.44. Great, flat course. Started at Mandalay Bay and ran down the strip, turned at Freemont St and came back. The second house wasn't as nice as it was an odd, multiple turn route through warehouse areas.
Keeping cool Average Drinking Just right
