Race: Provo Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:31:56, Place overall: 29, Place in age division: 6
Total Distance
15.10

Race went good.  Not sure what place or how things went in comparison to others.  I'll check later.

I am pretty happy with how things went with this race.  Expectations were to try and finish between 1:30 and 1:35.  The wind was awful for the first 7 miles.  The snow didn't help.  I was with the same 4-5 people pretty much up until mile 8, then I was solo.  I got passed by 2 girls right before mile 12, and it turns out that they were the 3rd and 4th place finishers for the females.  About mile 9-10 I was struggling a bit, and I know I lost some speed after that.  Overall, I am pleased with how it went.

Wow, great race Jeff! Nice meeting you. You will BQ in no time, just keep doing what your doing. Try to get into St. George marathon, that course has some nice downhill.
