AM - 5 mile cooldown w/ Andrea after the SLC 1/2. I might be more proud of her for running a long cooldown than for how well she ran in the actual race :-) PM - 5.3 miles. First run without Andrea since the marathon, so there were no pace restrictions :-) I ran the 5th mile in 4:32, just because I felt like it and knew I could. I kinda needed it. Guess I still got some wheels. Fun morning - dropped Andrea off at the "math suite" then dropped off my car downtown and biked back up to Foothill & 2100E, where I waited for the racers to come by. From that point until the finish, I was able to bike alongside Andrea for the entire race. It was a lot of fun to just cruise around on the roads and watch her run the whole time. Amiee joined me on the bike, and along with the bike marshall guy, we had quite a peleton! Last night we calculated the splits for 1:18:30 and Andrea pretty much nailed it, running a strong, controlled race, and actually running up State Street a lot faster than I anticipated she would. Happy to see her have 2 fantastic races in the past 6 days! She's on a roll now. Last night I was seriously considering jumping in the half-marathon on a last minute whim... I felt like I did the smart thing (long-term) by resisting the temptation, but I also feel like I left some $$$ on the table this morning, and I'm about to go take my jeep to get new brakes. Oh well - I'll get my chances... I'm just getting anxious to race again because I'm feeling back to 100% already. Congrats to everyone who ran today!! Lots of great races by the blog... FRB cleaned house!!! I also took a lot of photos. Most of Andrea, but Fritz, Allie, and James make appearances as well - SLC Marathon Photos
