Las Vegas Half Marathon
December 10, 2006
Irving and I stayed with our friends, Alex and Etai at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. We were super excited. The night before the race, we had dinner at the Rio Buffet. It was so good. We made sure to eat a lot of carbs! (Is Chocolate Gelato a carb?)
Our awesome hotel: Mandalay Bay!

Results
Here, you can see my pace… the higher those lines, the slower I was… so in the middle, you can see the 3 miles where we walked, but for the most part, we maintained an 11-13 minute pace!
After the Race!
