A Quick Few

The moment you've all been waiting for...*drumroll*...I finished the Vegas halfer in 2:23:09!  That's 2 minutes and 9 seconds faster than last year!  I DID IT!  And it was amazing!  I haven't quite compiled my race report yet, but since I hadn't blogged since Thursday, I wanted you all to know how I did.  Here's just a quick few bullet points to keep you satisfied until my full race report:

• Amidst all the complaints from others about their race experiences, my experience was AMAZING and I had the best time ever...did I mention I PR'ed?
• I was scared the weather was gonna be too cold and too windy, but it ended up being perfect running weather.  It was cold afterwards, but I was covered in sweat and it started raining, but I had a hoody and sweatpants waiting for me at Gear Check!
• The energy of running with 30,000 other halfers was great.  It really kept me pumped up the entire race and motivated and energized.
• I possibly had too many GU energy gels during the race that I almost crapped my pants at mile 12!
• Some dude ran in a thong holding a beer!  Quite the site from behind...you'll see (pics to follow)!
• The GF is the most amazing person to have at a race with you...more on that later too!
• I didn't come back a winner, but I didn't come back a loser.  Vegas tried to take all my money the first 2 days, but it soon turned around and I won most all of it back!

I'd like to thank EVERYONE for all their nice comments and well wishes.  It really helped get me across that finish line!  So Thanks!
