Ran the Hobble Creek Half marathon with Bill, Dustin, Clyde and Steve. I really had no idea what to expect in the race. I thought I would run a little below 1:20, but didn't want to set too many expectations. For about the first 3 miles I had a difficult time with my leg turn over, I felt like my legs were "catching". It might of had something to do with not being warmed up enough and running 5:30's down the canyon. Anyways, I ran the first six between 5:30 - 5:50 mile pace. After that I'm not sure what my pace was becuase I lost the guy that was giving me my splits (I forgot my watch). So the last half after getting out of the canyon I significantly slowed down. Overall I was happy with my time of 1:17:58, I still don't feel like I'm running even close to my potential. It's good to see the other guys impoving as well, even Bill with a messed-up calf and stomach pulled a PR! |
