So I haven't updated the blog for a while but since this is my first half marathon of the year I'll probably start posting some stuff haha. Anyways got up at 5 am cause the tracks train left at 6 am. It was kinda cold when we left but still not too bad. Both the marathon and the half marathon started at the U of U by the hospital and ended by the Utah Court House. But we winded through a lot of neighborhoods and such. My goal was sub 1:20 I knew I had it in me if the weather conditions were good and the course didn't have a lot of hills. But karma got me today it was quite a hilly course with lots of long stretch hills which slowed me down about off goal pace. And my first mile was a 5:23 which wasn't the plan haha. But on the good side of things my average pace was 6:19/mile so I am happy about because I haven't ran a lot of mileage at goal pace. Good race and a lot of fun. I took 12 th overall out of 1694 runners and first in my age group out of 43 kids. Which I'm happy with. Sadly I didn't beat all the girls in the race (two beat me) they were probably Kenyans or something. Good race to start out with, but I'll try to go sub 1:20 next time and hopefully get it. #GoodTimes

They weren't Kenyans, just impressive female runners.

Yes, this course is hard to PR on. You've got to take the downhill fast to begin with because holding back on the downhill would be bad, but then you pay for it later no matter what.

Good race.
