Ran the Sojo Half Marathon this morning- Had no idea how the body would be after the SGM. The course is basically downhill with about 3 miles of average climbing and the last 2 miles or so are pretty flat. Going in I hoped to just be under 1:40 so it went about as good as I could expect. My right foot started having issues with about 3 miles left and that made me mad but I kept moving, just a bit slower. The time may not be a great one but the overall race was a good one for me as far as consistency. This is not a downhill aided course. The temps were much warmer than I had hoped for and there was wind as well. I had arm warmers on and had to pull them off after 5 miles because I was overheating fast. Was hoping for about 15-20 degrees cooler!
Splits: 7:12/ 7:22/ 7:05/ 7:39/ 7:25/ 7:23/ 8:31/ 7:32/ 7:31/ 7:27/ 7:34/ 8:16/ 8:14/ 7:09 The last 2 miles were flat and had a headwind so that slowed me down a bit, the 8:31 was a climb and I slowed down but ran the whole hill without wimping out. Looking forward to the Snow Canyon Half in a few weeks to see if I can use this consistency with some downhill and knock off some time-
