Biked to work and had a chat with a guy who works in the Family History place downtown. He has been riding to work for 6 years and was quite the character. We seem to hit the street at the same time so its nice to chat with him.

It was a bit nippy at the top! I put my attire on for my costume as a Prom date. Christa was my date. I decided that I couldnt run with it on so I opted to my singlet and shorts. Sorry Christa. Our date was short lived and I didnt even get a kiss. lol  I saw a lot of crazy costumes and a lot of crazy friends at the starting line. Lily and Mckenzie! So funny! I lined up at the start next to Steve and BJ. We started off and there was a freaking bus in the way we had to run around and it got chaotic but we managed and off we went.  The first 5 are insanely steep! I thought I was the only runner who was slapping my feet as I ran but it turned out everyone was. I ran in the group and they were pretty chipper. I told some that asked what I was doing that I really had no idea and that Id just let the first 5 miles dictate. As we hit mile 5 it felt like I was running a 7 minute pace but when I got to six realized I was staying under 6 so it was ok. I hit mile 11 and thought in my mind I might be able to hit a 1:10 so I did try harder but my legs were spent. I did get real close to BJ by mile 12 but then he poured it on and I didnt have enough in me to respond so I finished right behind him. It was a PR for me so im not complaining. Very  Very fast course. Ill bet I could easily break a 1:10 on it if I didnt have tired legs from St. George and had more miles behind me instead of resting. The medals were awesome and the shirts were bitchin!  I really like this race.  Its a definate blister maker! It was nice to see the Herriman High School XC team out on the aid stations. It really gave me a boost at mile 9 and 11! Thanks you studs and studettes!
