The plan was a controlled marathon effort half marathon today. Becca and I warmed up five before the race. We had a lot of time to get a long warm up in. True to small race form, it started about 20 minutes late. My goal was control. I ran with Bill for a few miles before pulling away. He got me excited for TOU, and gave me some good advice . . .mainly to get out of my own head. I ran alone for much of the race. It's about an 800 foot drop total, but really rolls. I just tried for even effort. The last three miles was on the Draper 5k course. So, mile 11-12 was pretty ugh. It finished in Draper Park. I was reeling in the first place male, but he saw me, and sped up. I finished in 1:20:09. I cooled down three miles looking for Becca. Apparently, she amd another girl got lost in the race. They missed a turn and ended up somewhere in Draper. They hitchhiked back. Such a bummer for both of them. |
