This was a fun race and I finished about 2 minutes faster than my PR at Provo River two weeks ago. Can't beleive I finished first in my age division (this must have been a slow year or something). I will double check the overall and division places when the times get posted. I got passed from about mile 10 (the second to last water station) by several people. I had to stop and walk at about mile 12.5. I was just done at that point and I didn't care if anyone passed me. Did not feel good at the beginning, but was determined to try and go at 6:15-6:30 pace for the first six miles. Overall, I don't think the vacation (and sunburn) I was on within the last two weeks helped me with this race or all the food I've eaten over the past 2 weeks for that matter. After checking the results, I really took 2nd in my age group as the winner was also in my age group. However, I guess since he won the race they don't technically include him in the age group. Here are the splits: 6:24 - 1
5:59 - 2 Little scared to see below 6
6:22 - 3
5:58 - 4
6:09 - 5
6:12 - 6
6:28 - 7 5:57 - 8 Mile marker must have been off
6:30 - 9
6:39 -10 Wheels are coming off and I can tell I'm not feeling well
7:15 - 11 Hanging on
7:26 - 12 Pretty much done
7:53 - 13.1 Not feeling well Ran an additional 4.75 miles in 39:45 with my brother Ryan in the evening after lifting weights for about 40 minutes.
