Good race, I'll start out by saying that.  Minimal hammy/sciatic pain and felt really good through 10.  my watch died at the county club with was about 10.5 so I don't know how much I died and I know I did but still picked some people off.  I was glad to see a 1:35 on the clock cause I didn't know and the 1:35 pace group was in front of me.  I will post the splits later when my watch charges.

Started the day with Mel, my stepdad picking Melody, Ericka, and myself (my mom was already in the car) and taking us to the start.  So stinkin nice not to have to ride the bus:)  Got there at 5:25 and warmed up 2 miles with Melody went to the bushes and then walked down to the start and they started right on time.  I felt really good through most of the race, tired in the end and didn't have my watch to push me but I am happy it was an improvement over Ogden.

1-7:17

2-7:10

3-7:24 hill and I Am feeling good

4-7:13

5-6:51

6-7:01 Melody is pulling away and I wish I could stay with her but I still feel strong so I run my own race.

7-7:06

8-7:08 

9-7:20 see Marie and she runs with me for a bit.

10-7:29 cc hill

and a dead watch total time for 10.37 is 1:14:50/7:13 so I did slow some wish I could see how much.  But all and all I am happy with the race.  Still having some pain holding me back but it's getting better slowly.
