Race: Run Elevated Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:29:29, Place overall: 16, Place in age division: 3
Total Distance
13.10

Ran the first Run Elevated Half marathon this morning. This race begins at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon. 3800+ feet of drop.

Felt ok with the results. I took it easy, trying not to push hard with all the downhill, just let it feel natural.My endurance at high speed is not where it needs to be. I held a great pace through the first 9 miles then the wheels started coming off. There was a hill to climb at the mouth of the canyon....was difficult to get over it after all the downhill. Started run walking to the finish....1/2 mile from the finish I finally looked at my garmin (no looking the whole race) to see if I still had a chance to break under 1:30 with the last 3 miles being so slow. It was possible and I kept pushing for 1:29:29.9 ( I measured the course long at 13.23 miles)

 

At mile 8 I took a 2nd surge (like GU) that trashed my throat. I ended up taking it late, right after an aid station and didn't get anything to wash it down with for 1 1/2 miles.....Really messed up my tonsels.....I kept trying to clear my throat and nothing worked. This had me focusing on the wrong thing and my running showed it.....

SPLITS: 6:45/ 6:23/ 6:15/ 6:20/ 6:00/ 6:02/ 6:03/ 6:18/ 6:43/ 7:58/ 8:20/ 7:10/ 7:33/ 6:58
