Ran this one bandit but I still had the weirdest pre-race dreams ever. I must have known deep down that I would see what I had in me. Started out w/ a mile warm up w/ Luz then Jos, Luz,RAD and I took our places. By the first aide station Josse used her veteran water stop skills and pulled away from me and I started to feel like I wasn't quite in the race mentality state but I kept her in my sight the whole race. Her pink shirt right up ahead of me kept my legs moving. I thought a couple times I could catch her if I just picked it up a bit but then I would get scared thinking it would get to me so I stayed as steady as I could. The last couple miles I battled my head a little but I'm glad I kept it up and managed what I did. I matched my fasted half, which was Hobble Creek back in the day, so that makes me happy.

Thanks guys. Somehow I dont believe you, Walter. You have enough fury for the both of us.

Nice race. I really like the Ogden Half. The canyon is groovy on the half. Interesting I really didnt have that feel on the full. Just wanted it to be over.

Walter hates bandits. His words. LOL!

From josse on Tue, May 18, 2010 at 14:36:45 from 75.220.179.57

Great job sis:) Next time make that move to catch me, well it will probably be somebody else but you know what I mean:)

From Ericka on Tue, May 18, 2010 at 14:45:40 from 174.52.85.1

Burt- I know, I talked to him about it and he forgave me for my banditness, thank goodness.. I didn't cross the finish line like the 1st guy so he said it was a forgivable offense.

Jos- Thanks sis, I'll trust myself more on the next one.

From Ericka on Tue, May 18, 2010 at 16:06:56 from 174.52.85.1

Thanks gdoc. I've heard that from several people about the full vs. the half... it's a killer to take on, kudos to all who dare.

Awesome job!

From mozzer on Wed, May 19, 2010 at 02:35:46 from 67.188.156.167

that is a great race! Was it your first? Looks like a full M coming up in a few weeks, good luck!

Great to read your race report (finally). We saw each other after the race, and you were with Josse, so I just assumed you'd kept up with her. Great splits! You ran a strong race and battled your mind to the end. You're just getting better and stronger all the time. I loved this day adn this race. I aws so happy to spend part of it running with you guys. Thanks for posting a few pictures. I have to talk to you about Sat, so I'm going to PM you now.
