Marathon #33 (state #21): Hoover Dam Marathon, Boulder City, NV

4:14 finish, 50/173 place overall.  Challenging but very scenic course in the mountains alongside Lake Mead, briefly overlooking Hoover Dam. Double out-and-backs are generally not my favorite, but the views here made up for it. Perfect running weather - cloudy and cool. Took the hills too fast early on and paid for it later with significant slowdown, but not disappointed with time considering difficulty of the course.
