Done, Done and DONE!!!

Guess what...we're DONE!  The Rock 'n Roll Las Vegas Half-Marathon is finally nothing but a memory....and what a memory it is...  Climbing through a hedge to try to get to our starting corral, extreme congestion through-out the entire race, a total lack of water and Cytomax along the course (and rumours that in the desperation to replenish the water supply - water from fire hydrants was used!), chaotic and dangerous finishing area, spectators finding their way onto the race course and in the way of runners....Ahhh....what a fun time...

As I did not have any encounters with what I like to refer to as human hazards and I brought a little bit of water and Gatorade with me my only real complaint was the total congestion....for the entire route.  After 12 weeks of training and thinking this was going to be my ONLY half-marathon...it is very disappointing to not have the time I wanted.  My time wasn't HORRIBLE.... 2:31:11....but it wasn't what I was hoping for or expecting.  As this may very well be my one and only shot - it sucks to not have been able to run my own race...  But oh well...  Been there, done that....Got my tacky glow-in-the-dark finisher's medal :)
