AM - 10 mi. Ran the 10K in Orem... 31:55 for 3rd... I'm pretty happy with that... I just wanted a hard effort and to get under 32 mins. My PR is 31:39, on the track, at sea level, so this is a solid indicator 2 weeks out from UVM. Teren took off quick from the start, shadowed by a BYU guy who I don't know... I hung back, but really wish I had just gone out a touch faster and put myself in the mix, because we turned and ran into the wind for the second mile, and it would have been nice to be latched onto somebody for that part. According the the mile markers, I was 5:15 at Mile 1, and then 5:33 for Mile 2, and 4:19 for Mile 3! Haha I don't think so! I don't know why its so difficult to get mile markers in the correct spots! Anyways, at that point Teren and BYU guy were pretty far ahead, and I had no confidence in any of the splits, so I resigned to just run steadily hard the rest of the way. Not by any means an amazing performance, but I did what I set out to do, and felt recovered almost immediately afterwards. I'm definitely in much better shape for longer races than shorter races right now. Andrea ran great once again... winning the women's race in 37:10 and she knocked over 20 seconds off the course record. She's ready to run another great half at Utah Valley in 2 weeks. (Added the recap on our other blog, which has Andrea's report that she posted on here as well) PM - Easy 30 minutes... was bored and wanted to shake the legs out a bit.
