I keep wanting to post a race report, but following the Vegas scandals are much more interesting.
It was originally reported that the Competitor Group CEO raced the half marathon in 1:26 and won his age group (he is 59). And he got married during the race (a 15 minute ceremony)! And he took almost a full hour off his PR! Of course, once it was noted that he didn't register a time at any of the timing mats from the course, the age group article was pulled. Now I know how Simon from RunColo posts such fast times!
Oh yeah, very nice of the CEO and his new wife to grab finisher medals. They ended up running out of medals shortly after this pic was taken.
Still lots of talk going on about how many folks got sick.
I can barely keep up with it all. The race was four days ago and the RnR Vegas facebook page is still blowing up.
From the end of the race until sometime on Wednesday, I threw up multiple times, experienced horrible headaches, was severely dehydrated, and had some balance issues. Of course, none of that was due to the race but to all the partying afterwards...

I heard they brought all the water up from mexico, just because a local medical practice was a sponsor. I also heard they date raped tom jones, just to keep the women from throwing underwear at him during the race. how were able to perservere under such adverse conditions?
I heard I'm eligible for the coveted "rock hero" medal and a $10 discount to a future competitor race.
Glad you got your A-race in the Dells instead, then.
The Vegas race just sounds like a trainwreck!
