Not my best race and a little slower than I hoped. I got to the Saltair at 9 am with plenty of time to register and warm up. After registering I headed out in the rain. Heading east on the course during warmup I could tell I had a tail wind. When I turned around and headed west I could feel a strong head wind and rain pelting my face. At this point I could tell I was just not on my game today. I figured I would head out with a 7 min pace and at the turn around try to push as hard as I could on the way back.
The race would exactly as I thought after the warm up although I was hoping to keep a sub 7 on the way back, not quite.
