The m...I can lecture everyone for hours on this... The more people there are, the more problems you will get. I have done 3 rock and roll races... one of them I raced, fast enough that there were no crowds by me, so I had no issues, the other two I ran with Heather and it was a herd of cattle the whole race. <br /><br />Not much you can do, I compare Rock N Roll series with WTC of triathlons, its a corporation and you are merely a number and a dollar amount to them.<br /><br />That is the reason I would never ever run Vegas. Love the town but had no desire to suffer like you and Jason.<br /><br />Nice time w/ respect to the mob scene man. <br /><br />Yeah, walking all day, ugh, total buzz kill the next day, I usually get shin splints from walking a lot.<br /><br />Glad you made the best of it and did not let the crap race ruin your trip!Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538607049070992837.post-52793786874809258382011-12-16T05:42:59.324-08:002011-12-16T05:42:59.324-08:00I feel bad for the people whose very first race wa...I feel bad for the people whose very first race was this one.<br />At least the actual race was OK for you.Heatherhttp://www.mile26andmore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538607049070992837.post-34305446622521410502011-12-15T14:50:54.241-08:002011-12-15T14:50:54.241-08:00Great write up.

I heard about this race and think that running the strip at night would be awesome, but I also heard alot of people got sick because they used fire hydrants to fill up the water cups??? I hope that is not true!Jfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112629068602038293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538607049070992837.post-7885497532374035322011-12-15T08:25:55.791-08:002011-12-15T08:25:55.791-08:00Nice run time!

They have lied to us in the past - why should they be trusted to promise to make changes.<br /><br />Their in ability to handle the post race damage control is evident they are out of touch and should be denied to operate a race.<br /><br />There are way too many more options to race, and big ones too.<br /><br />Sorry you had a bad visit to our city.
