Moab Race Report....
Woke up feeling pretty good, had a light breakfast and started getting ready for the run. Fritz and Christian came over and we all drove over to the start together. (Me, Jamie, Sherene, Fritz, Christian, Hunter, Kristin, Logan (yes THE Logan), and Katey) We got to the school and loaded the buses. Once at the top, they drop you about a half mile below the starting line, so you have to drop your sweats and walk up to the start. About 10 minutes before the race started Logan talked me into walking to the front of the pack with him. I dropped in about 20' back at the 7:00 minute pace group. It was nice to start without a whole lot of congestion around. It was windy and cold for the first mile or two, after that it felt great. I probably could have ditched the long sleeve shirt I was wearing. (Oh well)... Here's the per mile breakdown of my race:
6:56, 7:07, 7:18, 7:33, 7:25, 7:18, 7:32, 7:29, 7:31, 7:42, 7:38, 7:28, 7:17,
I forgot to stop my watch after finishing, so I'm not sure of my .10 split time. Logan came back and ran me in. ( I should point out this was a PR for me by about 4 minutes. First time sub 1:40 )
It was a great race! Hopefully we all get in next year.... |
