Comments:

I am pleased that I set a PR but I feel if I had not had to mess with the gramin not working at the start that I would of mentally been doing better that would of helped me keep a faster pace

What would you do differently?:

I would have know that the garmin would beed to be reset each time LOL. ALSO I would of not walked as much as I did on Sat. BUT since first time in LV I really wanted to see the sites

Post race

Warm down:

walked around the finish line area and got some water and banana

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think being on my feet to much the day before affected me a bit also this was a large race about 15K runners. Plus just overall experience but I am faster than the last half marathon I raced so I am getting there

Event comments:

I feel the shirts could of been better and also more snacks at the finish. Also never really saw mile marker signs. I figured it out each time we got to a water station lol. I also wish that the finish was at the fron side of the strip not at the back part of manadalay bay parking lot
