I was convinced the day before this race the weather wouldn't be bad. It couldn't be, the weather was terrible last year at this race, this year should've been a nice year. I was wrong. The weather was terrible, downpour and wind. I was excited to be at the race because of the atmosphere and because of how many people I knew in the race. It was fun seeing so many Utahrunning.com runners in yellow jerseys. I wish I could've watched the race instead, some of my friends had incredible races despite the weather. I'm glad I was able to see Riley finish the marathon, it was an incredible race for him yesterday. He worked hard for that. I feel like I coasted a little in my race, not that I would've been much faster had I been more determined to hit a certain pace, but I didn't really go after it as hard as I should've. The biggest reason being pregnancy. I'm still happy with it, I'm glad I ran it. The weather got steadily worse as the race progressed. Maybe next year the weather will cooperate? Splits were 6:50, 6:33, 6:36, 6:46, 6:30, 6:43, 6:47, 6:44, 6:38, 6:41, 6:42, 6:48, 6:49. AP 6:42 Also you won't find my results online. I must've had a faulty chip. Nothing registered. Oh well.
