Spent a few hours this am working on my leg/quad. Iced and massage and by 1115 I was ready to try it out at the pg Rec for some speed. My hope. So ran 2.5 miles Warmup in 20:57 then stretched. Ran 1.5 miles up 4 percent felt strong. Then four down faster than last week's paces but one less mile down as I did an extra half up --6:40/6:35/6:31/6:27. Leg a little tight but no pain.  Felt harder due to residual cold and faster pace.  Avg 6:33. Total time for up and fast four 37:35. Avg 6:49 for the 5.5

Porters half.  Warm breeze as I goofed it up little cottonwood canyon from mouth --start of porters half    Never once an incline of coolness.  Memories of st George 2011 start. So I knew I could only get a couple fast miles and see after that. But after those couple I was having heartrate issues and swearing a lot. Heat exhaustion   I started walking at mile 4. Walked about 6-7 times the remainder of the race.  Stood in someone's sprinkler for 30 seconds also walked on a downhill section.   I just could not recover. Drank 3 water bottles given at end of race.  And still was thirsty.   1:42:16. First four miles --6:46 , 7:03, 6:53 and 7:05
