Quite awhile ago, I offered to pace the Riverton Half for the 1:30 pace group. Then I realized that I was being a little too ambitious given my training. So I told Walter I'd have to drop out, and he found someone else. But then that person got injured, and a 1:35 pacer dropped out, so I signed up for 1:35. But Walter still needed someone for 1:30 so I said I would do my best. We had 5-10 people in our group throughout the race, but we got broken apart about halfway through the race. Sean Silverton was my co-pacer, and took the front group and I just tried not to die too hard. To make a long story short, I finished in 1:31:59, so I wasn't too far off where I should have been. Sean was on time, so it worked out well. I was able to help a couple runners who were near me. I'm pleased with my race, given that I almost stayed on pace despite the wind, modestly challenging course, and the fact that my longest training run in the past few months was 5.5 miles. |
