		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know what disappoints me more: the mismanagement of the Las Vegas Zappo’s Rock and Roll Marathon/Half Marathon, or the local LV media’s reports that everything went “smoothly.”
It was obvious that no local reporter had run the event or the coverage would not have been so rosy. And equally obvious was the fact that the event is managed for profit with little regard for the customers.  
But why should reporters go to the trouble of asking runners what they thought? One phone call to the organizers told them everything they were supposed to know. And why should the organizers, Rock and Roll aka  Competitor Group, bother to put on a great event when it’s so easy to just take the 7 million dollars less expenses, put in an appearance and go on to the next profit center in Miami.  
They have certainly sent me back to my running roots. I learned again why I appreciate running by myself in open country. No one to trip me or run me over. No amateurs (who are sure they can walk 13 miles happily walking four abreast) wondering why runners are in such a hurry. I didn’t get a chance to tell any of them that they can walk the Las Vegas strip any time. They didn’t need to sign up and pay $155 for a rather ordinary t-shirt.   
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to run in a Half Marathon with 38,000 participants you can stop wondering. That’s too many runners. Add 6,000 running the Full Marathon and you have a disaster.
