Ok starting out I knew I was not going to feel fresh and I didn't. I was tired from the get go and was wondering at first if I wanted to finish this thing. My legs had no go to them, I was throwing up that acidy stuff into my mouth and mentally wasn't to into it. But I decided to hang in and make it a good workout. I definatlly was a good workout and a good pracitice on mentall tuffness.
My stepdad drove my mom, sister and myself to the start from Panguitche, got there and warmed up with the boys. Then I saw Marcie right before the start. We started together but she blasted out at the start and my legs didn't want to do that. So I settled into 3rd place, where I stayed the whole race. You start with a flat kind of up hill first 2 miles and then you have about 5 miles of screamin downhill, that completely trashes your legs. Then you go through rollers untill the end. Tough course on tired legs.

Cooled down with Marcie and alittle more by myself. Over all I am happy that I was able to pull off a 3rd place finish and a 1:30 feeling the way I did. Can't complain about winning 300$. I also PR by 5 mins form the last time I did this race. Legs are more sore than after both spring marathons. Did some hiking through Bryce canyon later that day. |
