Anyone thinking about this one? I am thinking of Dan’s comment about supporting first year events so there are second year events. Anyone heard anything about the course or the RD?
i used to live in vegas (until about 2 months ago) and did a couple races put on by the rd. they were fine. no problems, but not super great either. i’m sure the silverman will be well done.
the bike course will be pretty challenging, but nothing super tough. a lot of rolling hills, and it can be pretty windy out there. there’s little shade or cover. the scenery is pretty dramatic in places. the road conditions are good. traffic shouldn’t be a huge problem (I assume they aren’t closing roads?).
the run, i hate to sat it, might be a little boring. it starts at the multi-gen center (which is a city pool-fitness complex) and pretty much runs through residential areas. a sizable part of it is on a MUT. it will be flat though.
a tip: you might want to consider staying at the Green Valley Ranch Station hotel/casino. this hotel is about a mile or so from T2. It’s pretty nice and smallish compared to the strip casinos. also, eat at Lucille’s BBQ in the District. the food kicks ass.
if you have any specific questions, let me know. i lived in green valley and ran/road the area all the time. best of luck with the race if you decide to do it.
