AM: LR with Riverton Half Marathon @MP
Chris Pusey met me at my house and we ran over to the starting line for the half today. Got there just in time to do a bathroom break and some easy strides. Talked to a few friends at the start. It was a funny start. We are all just talking and then this guy pushes an air horn and says go with no warning. So literally it was a go before we even knew we were going. Gotta love this kind of race organization. Either way no biggie. Really good and honest course today with good rolling hills, steady inclines and a few flats the entire time. I had a really enjoyable time just cruising at MP. I really practiced on focusing my marathon pace and felt very comfortable. Talked to a few friends after the finish and then headed out with Chris back to my place to cool down. I could feel my hamstring and calf start to get mad at me around 20 so I backed off and started to walk. Toni drove by me and picked me up and took me back to my place. Chris continued on and finished with 24 total. He looked great. Congrats to Chad for taking 3rd overall today. A lot of great runners out this morning for the event. A very fun morning.
