  • Comments: My third Vegas marathon, did the old one that started in Jean, which was ok, and did last years with the Devine Group running it, and now a R&R event. I've read about the yeas and nays of others. Me personally, I liked the event, I know that by the time I get to some of the later bands, they might not being playing (big deal) aid stations don't always have to be fully manned, just as long as I can grab a water jug to fill up my bottle. Think the cold put a damper on some of the crowd support, but being cold kept the worries of overheating and dehyrdrating. Started to think about the doability of a triple?

  • Comments: I thought RnR did a good job with the race and support. My only complaint and I heard many people complain about this was only having 1 portapottie at the stations during the 1/2 creating longer lines than necessary. I planned on stopping but just ended up finding bushes due to the lines.

  • Comments: Thie was a great race. Very well orgazined, good expo,start corrals were helpful. Everything went off on time, the skydivers and fireworks were cool. Running down the strip was great except for the drunk fools who were coming in from the night and didn't know what was happening. Once the course turned offthe strip, it was pretty dull, but at least, once we turned back towards home at mile 20, you could see where the finish was, so that was good for the psyche. Overall, this was a good race. I didn't race well, but everything went very smoothly, and when it's over, you are still in Vegas. There were some good entertainment offers through the marathon which was good too. Always good to save money when you are in Vegas.

  • Comments: The only thing I didn't like about the race was the lack of `exit strategy.' I guess there's not much the RD can do about that, though. There were no cabs and I ended up hobbling the three or four miles back to my hotel, which sucked ballzack. Oh well. I'll be back next year. This course is mostly flat and fast and I know if I don't have a fu**ed knee I could totally tear it up!
