AM - 12 Started with a slow easy warm up mile around Vernon Worthen Park twice as everyone showed up (7:50). Then we - Steve, Dustin, Toby, and I - headed up to Snow Canyon to run down the course (same run as last week, hoping for a better result - it was). Not bad temps, but a bit of an uphill in-your-face breeze. Started right off with a 6:20 - my watch isn't with me so these are approx. - but it didn't seem hard. Them a 5:55, and a 6:05 up Winchester without even increasing effort. I wanted to hit 3 miles at Tempo through the twist and Steve came with me. 5:40, and then two 5:20's. Backed off for the next two miles and Dustin came up strong to join us 6:10's. Then we moved it up again down diagonal and in to the finish, taking it from 5:50's down to 5:30's for the final 2.5 Then hit another easy lap for a 1/2 mile around the Park. Total ave. with the warm up and cool down was 6:10. Dustin and Steve had the ave. for the 10.5 at around 5:50. Felt great and it really got me pumped up for the race. Dustin and Steve ran very well also. (Cumulus silver 117.45) |
