I met Angela and Jeff at the park and ride in Bluffdale at 4:00 a.m. so we can ride up together. I decided to start behind the 1:40 pacer. I stayed about 30 feet behind her for the first 4.5 miles, then I picked up my pace and passed her. I felt pretty good. Just after mile 9, I had to stop and use the porta potty. The cost me about a minute and a half. Those last 4 miles were tough. I felt so much stronger at Utah Valley 1/2 last week. The 1:40 pacer must have passed me when I was in the porta potty, I saw her just before the finish line. My splits were 7:30, 7:30, 7:19, 7:10, 6:52, 6:57, 7:07, 7:05, 7:28, 8:58 (bathroom break), 7:58, 7:47, 7:48 and 7:07 for last .16.
