I was definatly not ready to race. I decided to just try and enjoy the race and the surroundings. I am dissapointed with my time but I got out of it what I put in it! I walked way too much! I need to step it up and get back into a groove of training so that this isn't the way I feel for St. George. Okay, I just sat down to look at the details of my race from the downloaded Garmin info: So, during the race I walked approx. 19 minutes. Disgusting. Looking at the pace chart after the first few miles (8:20sh pace) After walk breaks of 20-60 seconds I am showing that I was running around 6:00 to 6:30 pace. I am sure that part of this is not so accurate but it does show what was going on. I do have speed in me I just don't have the lungs and the will power to race right now. I need to get working on the lungs, will be working in some biking in the heat to get some breathing going without hurting the legs.
