| Snow Canyon 1/2 Marathon. What a fantastic day for a gorgeous run through Snow Canyon. Felt strong throughout the entire race. Hoped to run 1:45 or better, so I started well behind the 1:45 American Flyers pace team. I was about 50 - 75 yards behind them through about 3 miles. Gradually caught up to them by mile 4. Passed them but fully expected them to catch back up going down the steeper portions of Snow Canyon where I needed to be careful, because of my ITB issue not being totally resolved. It was feeling okay and by mile 6 noticed I was now on pace for even a 1:40 if I could just hold it, but I could see no sign of the 1:40 pace team. Felt stronger still moving along the Snow Canyon Parkway path and through Entrada, passed a lot of folks, but still no sign of that 1:40 pacing team. Down Lava Flow Drive and then finally after turning towards the high school track, I saw them and caught up while nearing the final turn on the track. Nice job, Kelli, keeping that pace team right at pace. They did a fabulous job!! Finished in 1:39:29, for 13.2 miles, per my Garmin, and feeling great!! 4th place of 42 in M 55-59 division. 144 of 585 overall men. 202 of 1541 overall field. Splits: (1) 8:04, (2) 7:43, (3) 7:28, (4) 7:10, (5) 7:05, (6) 7:09, (7) 7:16, (8) 8:03, (9) 7:28, (10) 7:39, (11) 7:47, (12) 7:48, (13) 7:28, 6:46 (for .2). |
