2008拉斯維加斯馬拉松(7/12)

"Man, I really like Vegas" ~ Elvis Presley

賭城全馬是小弟第九個全馬. 今年從沒有諗過會跑, 因為2006年已跑過了. 亦對後半段賽道沒有好感.  Pasadena被臨時改期, 在氣憤之下signed up咗.  因七日後會再戰檀香山, 所以唔敢亂嚟, 只會當LSD again, 亦會當on course running photographer!  澳門亦同日有全馬. 两個賭埠同日舉行 with longrun.hk members參加, 直頭way cool.  但唔知澳門賽道有冇得跑經所有五星級casino and hotels呢?  Runners for the LVM got to run along the world famous Strip for the first few miles.  You can even go inside a casino to gamble awhile and come back out to run again. 大約於7:20am左右係 mile 5.5 的一間wedding教堂, 到時會有一班準新郎新娘跑手舉行婚禮, 牧師亦係跑手. 還會有一大班猫王look a like嘅跑手(Running Elvi)做伴郎的, 完畢後又會再繼續跑, 奇竟之一. 真係 What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas 呀!

全馬之前一日(星期六) 亦有一場5K熱身賽 ~  The Las Vegas Great Santa Run.  所有跑手會穿著聖誕老人服裝, 十分罕見!  到時亦有可能會再破世界紀錄.  舊年破了, 但被Ireland的一場賽事拿走.

天氣: 3C at start time (6am), no rain, no wind.  Should be perfect for running!!

又攪掂一個 (5:08).  很開心在教堂草地參加了一場別開生面需時成二十分鐘嘅集體結婚典禮, 雖然"sigh"咗好多保貴嘅時間, 但都值得的.  映咗好多相和video clips.  星期日玩埋檀香山之後先至一齊post pics and reports上HK Yahoo blog.  依加送上一張同showgirls and Elvis映嘅finisher相給各位睇住先啦!

BTW, another group (organizer) will take over the LV marathon on Monday and will rename it to ROCK 'n' ROLL Las Vegas Marathon.  There will be live band at every mile and will definitely attract more than 25,000 runners from all over the world. And of course more running Elvi and showgirls!
