I felt like I was capable of a 2:39:OO but today wasn't the day. I ran with Steve King for the first 12 miles, and neither one of us felt that great. I lost him when I grabbed my first drink. I was 1:23:37 at the half and just couldn't ever get going. I ended up getting passed by five women in the last 10 miles, and my last 10k wasn't much under 40 min. I was tight after Veyo hill and never recovered. I ended up 11th in the age so I didn't get an award. It was a disappointing race! I was however, the first Cache Valley runner, so I got $100. Dad ran in 3:08:47 and was okay with that, even though he was 23rd in his age.
