(Nick) This race was really a challenge. I started out way too fast and by the one mile marker I was spent, reduced to walking. Started up again to the 2 mile mark and saw V running up towards the turn around. At that point I figured any chance I had of a decent time was lost and I would have more fun running with V. So i ran backwards toward her, getting a lot of funny looks from the other racers in the process. We finished the last 1.5 together. It was really freaking hot out today. Just really felt dehydrated and out of shape. Have the worst allergies right now!
(Vanessa)- felt dehydrated before the start and that really freaked me out. I began questioning the point of running with 2000 people and no water down a black pavement. I seized those thoughts for 1.5 miles but shortly after running around the las Vegas sign I was so hot and tired and was relieved to see nick wanted to run the rest with me. It gave me the little motivation I needed to make it to the finish line and straight to the smart water. Nick was fascinated with the two Arizona runners that placed. Still waiting 4 days later for pictures to post. :/
