This was a two parter trying to get my pacing time dialed in for the Riverton Half Marathon then getting some extra in to finish off a longer day 13.1 miles on the Riverton course started out with Chad,Skip and a couple others the first two miles were a little faster than I usually start and I knew if I tried to keep with them my goal of hitting pace for the half then getting miles after would not happen so I let them go and stuck with my plan. The wind was not much fun and but I managed to get through the course feeling really confident. I didnt have to push too hard it was a good solid effort through the whole thing. Finishing with in 1:37 so a couple minutes to spare in case the weather is bad next weekend. Splits were 7:37,7:19,7:20,7:44,7:30,7:22,7:38,7:27,7:46,7:14,7:24,7:16,6:59 and 1:04 equaling 6:58 pace. Overall a 7:26 average. Quite happy about that
9.0 miles After getting a drink and resetting myself started on my second part. Was not looking to keep the same as the first part but was still feeling good. Fell back into a good pace again, the wind had picked up but I was still getting through it pretty good. Splits for this chunk were 8:21(stop light)7:59,7:48, 8:19(stop light)7:32,7:24,7:17,7:06,7:46(stop light) for a 7:44 average. Over all I feel really great about the whole day. It is right on where I want to be for the Ogden full would like to finish around 3:15 or so and with this run my confidence level just went way up :)
