Hoover Dam

On my quest to have all my marathon states be BQ's, my last one was NV. 

Hoover Dams course was not easy . At all. But I like hills  

I met some friends at the packet pickup and then at the start. 

I felt tapered and very confident 

I went out easier for the first 2 miles per coach Mike. Then I ramped it up. Felt great at 13.1. 

The second round of hills were more draining for sure . 

I took a gel at 14 miles then pushed into the mountains 

The Last 6 miles brought it in at 650 pace  and felt very strong

I came in as first women and led from the start 

My goal complete as the third women in the USA to have a BQ marathon in every state and DC
