Overall, I am happy with race. My runs havent felt great the past couple of weeks, so I didn't know what to expect coming in. Was hoping to run in the low 1:20's. Ended up at 1:23:07, 6:21 average, which is a half marathon PR for me by about 15 seconds and 4 minutes faster than when I ran this race 2 years ago. Temperatures were great for the race. There was some head wind as we came down the canyon, which probably slowed times a little for everyone. Probably could have pushed it a little more down the canyon as I felt better than usual the last couple miles and had my fastest mile at mile 12. Just have to continue to build on this.
Splits:
1- 6:08
2- 6:23
3- 6:30 (uphill part of the mile)
4- 6:30 (uphill part of the mile)
5 & 6- 12:50 (6:25 average, my watch lost satellite coverage so times got message up and had to do manual laps)
7- 6:12
8- 6:22 (out of the canyon)
9- 6:20
10- 6:21
11- 6:18
12- 6:06
13- 6:13
0.1- 0:49
