Race day and a beautiful morn it was. Perfect cool race conditions and no wind, lots of people. I think 600 plus this race keeps getting bigger every year and they have a great prize drawing after the race.

As far as the run went today not as fast as Provo Rivers half, this one has alot more uphill so I think it was a little more difficult, plus I made a mistake of walking through 2 aid stations. My average pace was 8:06. I don't know if I can hold that pace for all of SGM next month, we will just have to see. Mile splits are as follows.

Mile 1. 8:03

2. 8:13 Begining of uphill throught the river bottoms

3. 8:21

4. 8:21

5. 8:01

6. 8:33

7. 8:26

8. 7:41 Finally a little bit of down hill

9. 8:04

10. 7:49

11. 8:03

12. 7:56

13.1. 7:46 Finished strong, but felt a little out of gas.

My goal in both half marathons was to get in under 1:50:00 so I feel good about that, now for SGM I am trying for 4hrs or less, but will probablly be around 4:30:00. One more hard week of training and the tapper. See ya next week.

Great race Curtis. I think this course is at least 3 minutes slower than Provo River. Your finish time really predicts closer to 3:30 than 4 hours. I realize maybe you don't quite have the mileage base this year as some on the blog, but I would think sub-4 is very doable and 3:45 would be likely. Guess we'll see in 4 weeks.

Curtis you need to give yourself more credit than you do! You did great and you are going to have a great race in St. George in just FOUR SHORT WEEKS!
