I didn't even know about this race until the day before so I am glad I didn't miss it. The lower body workouts really shone through at the start - I hit 16 MPH on the gravel and rocks and felt very bouncy. Didn't get passed until the end of the first uphill which was cool. I really started to feel the CV fitness decline there though, had a lot of trouble maintaining on the hills but not so much on the downhills. Still a fun race, perfect weather and a 5:33 mile to finish.

Lots of O2 at the beach, I was doing sub 8s up Torrey Pines road with ease. 7 up the road, 5 back down on the beach, jumped in to cool off at the end. One naked guy on Black's Beach, ran away when he or she saw me coming :)

Long time since I posted, was resting and got out of habit. OK, tempo run by gym today. Not too bad on the times, all miles sub 6 (but broke it up for the 5 k on Sat into 2 mile, 1.2 mile, .7 mile)

I saw this race a few months back and figured with it being its first year and not widely advertised, I could snag an easy $100. It seems a few others had the same idea though so things looked challenging. The race was probably a lot smaller than the race director would have liked, he had a lot of snacks and great medals but only about 100 people in the 5K and maybe 250 in the half. The race went off at 6:30 PM, that might have scared a few people away too. Some little kid got out in front and just killed it for the first 220, he was even faster than me! And I was not holding back. Unfortunately for me there is a new guy, 5K specialist, now living in Provo. He is in his 20s and moved here from Ohio recently. Now acclimated to Utah, he left my 5:36 first mile in the dust with a 4:51. Once he got to the turnaround and saw how far back I was he slacked off and ended up with a 15:30. Once I got there and saw how far I was ahead of then ext guy I did too :) I ended up with a 17:32. The course was pretty short though, probably 2.97 and I felt heavy from the all you can eat Mongolian BBQ I had at lunch earlier. 2nd place wasn't bad though!

Standard pre-race strides except I replaced the 14 MPH treadmill with a 9.5 MPH hill climb at 11%
