Becky and I paced the 1:55 group at the South Jordan half marathon. About half way into the race we realized that the course was going to measure very long. We were hitting the miles about 0.2 before the marathon mile markers, putting the course 0.3 miles long. We debated whether or not to speed up to hit the time goal or maintain the correct average pace. Didn't really decide on either and ended up somewhere in between the two. Our average pace was right on until mile 10 when we sped up to get closer to 1:55. Kind of a disappointing experience. I was not as impressed with the race as I hoped I would be.
