AM- Taped up my ankle and hit the Steps. Disappointed I still struggle to shave some seconds in the early sections. Still a solid effory, tried chasing down Tevye but she too fast. Hit some uphill strides then finished run with girls. Weights after. 5.72 miles
AM- Up towards a tortoise fence or something. Mixed in with different groups. Flipped with 3 girls and a couple of guys. Went back for big group of boys. Added a loop on my own. 6.63 miles
PM- Had a goal of flipping when first attacked by river flies. Never happened so I just did a loop. 4.01 miles
AM- Warm up with freshman. Ran 5 with Sebastian and Braden, 5 with Isaac, then 5 with Sebastian. Took some time to jog around then mixed some minutes in with Jaxon Lay’s group. Cooked with boys. 6.25 miles
Kind of ran with Elin, Zack, and Tevye. Then a couple minutes trying to keep up with Tevye and Holt. Finished with the top boys. Wanted more miles but called it good at 40 minutes 5.13 miles
Beaver Canyon Half Marathon (13.13 Miles) 01:22:43, Place overall: 16, Place in age division: 2
Total Distance
13.78
Knew it was going to be a fast course because of my marathon experience in that canyon. Tried to be conservative but also crush the downhills. Things went pretty well other than a blister on my right heel that I was aware of from 4-5 miles. Then I had some “hernia coughs” around 8-9 miles that really slowed me down. I survived the last 4-5 miles and just kept it under 7 (which is a skill I’ll need for STG).
Shout out to Janzen Quinn Jason Quinn James Davidson Bailey Barker for some great performances today!
