BoSho (short for Bonneville Shoreline Marathon) is an unofficial "bandit" race put on by some of the local runners. Tough course, tons of elevation through the foothills of Northeast SL (U of U and beyond).
In short, rough day. While only 3 minutes slower than last year, it felt like an hour with twice the effort. Heavy legs, labored breathing and low energy--great combination for such a race.
7 am start with good sized crowd. Felt fine through 5-6 miles then just hung on while I got bounced around the foothills. Perfect cool weather for racing. Great training run. |
