I had so much fun pacing the Riverton Half this morning!
Met up with a bunch of FRB peeps this morning. Me, JulieC, Kelli, Rad, Paul, Andy, and I'm sure I'm missing a bunch more. Anyway we warmed up 3 miles together before the race.
I was pacing 1:50 with Skip and we had a pretty good group up until miles 7 & 8 when the winds really picked up. We lost a lot of our group during this gradual uphill/headwind miles but most of them finished right behind us and hopefully we still helped them. Our official gun time was 1:49:55! Skip's garmin time was 1:50:02...not sure how that happened. My garmin auto stopped at the last water station so I have no garmin time. Anyway I think overall we did a good job and it was a lot of fun. I never felt like I was pushing and felt really comfortable and relaxed the entire time. I rarely looked at my watch and think that (8:23) is such a comfortably natural pace for me.
Cooled down 2 miles with Kelli, Rad, and Paul.
*Easter egg hunt with the kiddos
*Big lunch with the entire family
*Chased four 2 year olds around for 5 hours.
