This was a really fun race. When I got there, I did an easy 2 mile warm up. I was really hoping to place in my age group. I knew I had a chance with most of my running group running the Wasatch Back relay. I ran the first mile in 7:25, the second in 7:24, and the third in 7:12. I gave it everything I had. I was trailing behind a lady for the first 2.5 miles. When we turned onto the final stretch, I passed her. That was my goal from the beginning. I didn't get passed after the first mile. I think the only girls to beat me were a lot younger. After the race I ran an easy 2 miles. I got a medal and a $10 gift card to Wasatch Running. |
