Went up to Happy Valley to bask in the rain, cold and wind! We will call this Marathon "sleepless in Happy Valley"
The Marathon itself was a well oiled machine. My hats off to them and all the volunteers. I got into town about 9 pm friday after a 5 hour Drive from Saint George. I was not in a very good mood because the pretty woman was all over me about something i can not discuss on this Blog! Got ready at 2 am in salt lake and drove drove to Prove to get on a bus up the canyon of Rain. After getting up there. we stood in the cold and wind and rain for an hour. I got really wet. I was doing great until about mile 12 and my lips turned Blue. then at mile 17 i started throwing up. My pace went down to 9 min miles. and my body said your done. This is my first DNF. But i glad i did because i think i was very close to passing out. |
