I ran this race as one of the pacers for the 3:35 group with Paul (prlman on the blog) It was my first time pacing and I enjoyed it very much. This is a good race and Big Cottonwood is beautiful this time of year. The first 14-15 miles of this race is very fast, the next 11.2 is full of rollers and a few decent hills. The last half mile of this race is a KILLER. My pace over the last .2 miles was 14 minute mile equivalent. It took me 2:47 to cover that distance. ... I couldn't believe it either. It is a very brutal, steep finish. 7:14 7:14 7:45 7:28 7:53 7:57 7:30 8:05 7:47 7:21 7:55 7:45 8:01 7:56 8:01 8:49 8:19 8:59 10:05 8:07 8:43 7:53 8:44 8:59 8:26 9:05 2:47 (13:55 pace)
