This was a tuff half, I havn't ran this one for a couple of years, and I forgot how much up hill there is. Wow there is alot. I ran this race with my Son Bryan and my Brother Clay (Rambo Jr.). This was Bryan's first half and he finished and over came the IT Band issues he has been having for the past couple of weeks. Clay did very well and finished 5th in his age group. By all of us completeing this rae it gets us into the SGM this year has we have completed the Runner Series for 2009.

I started out way to fast and tryed to keep up with Rambo Jr but I had to back off as his pace was much to quick for this old guy. I felt pretty good until miles 10 and 11 and just did not have any leg strength left. It was all I could do to keep them turning over for the rest of the race.

Pace miles are as follows.

Mile 1. 7:47

        2. 7:40

        3. 7:55

        4. 8:08

        5. 8:16

        6. 8:35

        7. 8:50

        8. 8:03

        9. 7:41

       10. 7:58

       11. 9:05

       12. 9:49

       13. 8:45

Not my best half but a good effort considering the tuff course. The best part about the race was running with Bryan and Rambo Jr. Thanks for dragging this old guy along.
