Decided at the last minute to run the Herriman Half. Since I ran 14 miles on Friday and am nowhere near race shape, my plan was to just maintain a consistent effort the entire run. I wanted to keep the effort as possible so I could test the course weighting methods that I use for the pacebands. The course is hilly so I thought 1:35 would be a comfortably hard effort. The race started and I settled into a good effort. Kept it steady throughout the run. It is a small race in it's first year so I ran solo the entire time (somewhere around 6th or 7th place). Even though I did not run all out, I'm not sure I could have run it a lot faster. I was feeling pretty tired toward the end. My pace weights were a little off for miles 10 and 11 which is a bit disappointing. I need to figure out if the map didn't pick up enough elevation change or if my formulas need to be modified.
