2+ mile warm up running up to the water tower on the Mesa before the race.
So I started the Southern Utah Half and came out strong (on those crazy downhill miles). AM- My stomach was feeling a little off before the race started but I didn't think much of it. By time I got to Sullivan I had to go to the bathroom. I knew this was going to add some minutes to my chip time. I tried to make up for lost time but still had lingering tummy issues. By mile 6 I was over the race and took a right turn off the trail amd onto riverside. I took off my bib and just ran on the road to Bloomington. I didn't want the pressure of feeling like I was in a race anymore. My stomach was less of a problem when I slowed down. Then some old lady swerved over the white line and nearly killed me! Luckily I saw it coming and I was able to get out of the way. I swore up a storm after the full realization of the danger hit me. Hurried home and watched a great outing for PV at the D-Hells Invite.
