So absolutely no sleep night before cuz we got to the hotel late and had to wake up at 5:30 because we stayed in green river. But I felt like I had enough energy. Soo cold! We drove buses up to the starting line and had to wait around for about an hour and a half. Super windy. I didn't want to put my jacket in my bag but I did and I'm so glad I did! Got warm just 2 miles in. First 8 miles were absolutely great! Kept a really nice 8:30 pace, I kept trying to slow down but my body wouldn't have it, that was just its flow pace so I just went with it. Mile 9 and 10 is where it started getting a little tougher and warmer and there were some hills in there. But it wasn't til the last 3 miles that I just died. Holy crap, the most I'd ever run is 10 miles so I was just trying to keep my feet moving. Thank heavens for my dad. Last mile suuuuucked! You wouldn't think .1 makes a difference well it makes a difference. But overall it was great! Pretty warm and hard but next time I'll be able to over train my mileage so I won't die. 664 place out of 2120, not bad right?!
