Utah Valley Marathon (26.2 Miles) 04:04:13, Place overall: 370, Place in age division: 55
Total Distance
26.39
Very similar to last weekend, the best part of my trip was seeing some elk. Everything else that followed not that amazing. I of course started out a little fast in the marathon. Knowing it was not a substantial pace for me, I slowed things down intentionally. My new goal was just to run right around 7 minute miles. Unfortunately my IT started flaring up around 15. I was super bummed I wasn't able to carry out my secondary goal. After some very painful miles I decided it wasn't worth running anymore but I still wanted to finish. I suppose dropping out of the Southern Utah Half was one of the main reasons for not wanting to drop out. So I hobbled/speed walked the last 8-11 miles. All in all not the experience I signed up for but it's all good. Now I'll have to spend some extra time on my IT. 26.39 miles
