This time last year, I was writing about how a group of us “crazies” were getting ready to race in the morning in San Antonio, jump on a plane, then race at night in Las Vegas on the same day… otherwise known as the #SA2LV crew. Well, that was last year and we figured we should do something again this year. Here is my race schedule for this weekend:
Saturday: 7am, Revel Canyon City Half Marathon
Sunday: 5:30am, Disneyland Avengers Half Marathon
Sunday: 4:30pm, Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Half Marathon
That would be starting 3 races in 33 hours, or 3 races in 2 days, or 3 races in 2 states, or 3 half marathons in one weekend, or 39.3 miles over two days… any way you look at it, it probably seems a little crazy. I accept that.
But you have to understand, this is “less crazy” than some of my friends and this is a “much calmer” weekend than I was planning a few months ago. Let’s just say that my 3 races doesn’t even begin to compare to some of the #SA2LV crew who are doing (up to) 5 races over the two days totaling over 70 miles with multiple flights… when I’m the “sane” one amongst my friends, we are clearly in trouble.

The two races in one day is going to be a popular thing on Sunday with Disney Avengers in the morning and RnR Las Vegas at night. With Avengers starting at 5:30am in Southern California, you could take 3 hours to finish the half, have time to shower and still be able to catch an afternoon flight to Vegas (70 min flight) before the 4:30 RnRLV start time.
Friday, 12-3pm at the Pro Compression booth
I’ll be at the Avengers Expo on Friday from 12-3 helping out at the Pro Compression booth. If you are there, come by, say hi, let’s take a pic, and all that jazz. I’ll be live Tweeting and Instagraming while I’m there as well. There are a couple tweet ups happening over the weekend and I’m not sure which ones I’ll be able to attend, but I’ll be around most of the weekend.

I love your adventures! I’ll be volunteering at a Girls On The Run 5K with a bunch of MRTT runners :)
You’re a beast, doode. Have a great time!
Impressive bounce back time! You are a great ambassador for our sport, especially as you make time to work the event in addition to racing. Keep up the good work, and good luck this weekend!
So excited to meet you / see you at Canyon City! I am amazed and in awe of all the people doing the 3 in 2!
So cool! I did 5 half marathons in 5 states in 5 days last year. It was organized for us “crazies”. North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Nebraska. 65.5 miles in 5 days. But even crazier is that my friends all did fuels each day for 131 miles! We had the best time. And ironically my times each day were fairly consistent. Have a great time. It’s great to have the culmination be vegas at night. Can’t wait to hear about this trip!
Epic!
Ah! You’re gonna be in my hood w/Revel Canyon! You know its straight downhill. Best to you crazy runner. Wait, runners are already crazy. ;)
You crazy and you AWESOME! Good luck!! Have a blast!!! (It sounds like fun to me!! Guess I’m crazy too–ha!)
I’m ready to do this craziness… gonna be fun. Got my clothes all laid out, with the exception of my shirt for Vegas… because I’m going to wear my Disney Avengers shirt and we haven’t even gotten it yet. We’ll have to compare on Monday who is more sore. Hope to bump into you at the races.
My weekend does not look nearly as exciting. Can’t wait to hear about your races and love the Pavey outifits. Have a blast!
You have a busy schedule this weekend. Way to rock it! This should be a total blast!! Can’t wait to meet up and tweet up! #Disney2LV
My weekend definitely does not look that exciting. I won’t be running any races or flying. Boo! I can’t wait to see my social media feed blow up!
You need to come run a Mainly Marathons series with me – 7 half marathons in 7 days. You know you want to.
So FUreakin’ awesome! Go PR!
Ok, as someone who is barely able to run, this is insanely impressive. How will your body recover for each of these races? I am amazed!!
You are a beast. That is all.
lol you hang out with some crazies
