Just looking for whatever specific advice I can get out there on training for Vegas. I was "lucky" enough to get a rolldown at Eagleman, but promptly had to bring training to an almost halt as I prepared for a cross country move with my husband and five kids. Between the two weeks of preparing, the two week trip, trying to get five kids settled, prepare two for going off to college... I am just now able to get really serious about training. Luckily, we moved to the central valley, where temps are 100 degrees everyday. Unfortunately, hills are a 45 min drive away. Everything I've read has me scared to death about the course, so my goal for the first time in my life is to finish, particularly with my huge break in training! Not sure how much training I should be doing in the heat of the day - do I save my hardest workouts for when it's cooler to make them more quality? But I really need the opportunity to practice the hydration/nutrition challenge - which sounds like the greatest challenge of the race. Whatever advice is out there, especially from those who have done the race, would be so appreciated!
Thanks!
Thanks!
