  • Comments: This was really my first race in a few years. I didn't train as I wish I would have, so I ended up needing to walk a good amount. Maybe for the next race I will do better!

  • Comments: This was all for fun. Opportunity Village is a Las Vegas-based, not-for-profit agency that serves people with intellectual disabilities to improve the quality of their lives and the lives of their families. This was a fundraiser for that organization, and an attempt to break the record for “the Largest Santa Gathering” in the Guiness Book of World Records set last year by district Dial-A-Ride in Newton, UK. The current record is 4,260 and they hoped to double that number. As part of that attempt, your registration fee included a brand new 5-piece Santa Suit. Not sure if they broke the record or not, still trying to find out, will let you know if I hear. Edit: Final total was only 2600, but they're going to try again next year, again the day before the marathon.
