Happy with my time I was expecting something between a 3:20 and 3:30 so I can't complain. I did well until about 20 and it was kind of a death march after that. Just glad I finished with a half way decent time. will write more later. Once again I think Hyrum pulled off another great race. And this year it was even more impressive because there were 10 times the runners than last year. I don't know if I like this years course better or not. There are some parts i do and some i didn't. I would give it a 7 on a scale of 1-10, only taking points out because I hated the end and some of the turns. I liked the airport part from last year. But most people didn't so what do you do. On to the race details if I can remember them, I sleep pretty good. Woke up at 4:05 and ate some cheereos and drank some hammer drink. My friend Julie came and got me and we rode the buss together and hung out at the start. We only had about 30 mins to wait, which went fast. My plan for the race was to run how I felt. I felt really good in the beginning and paid for my fast miles in the end. But I am happy with my time and had to see.... We are off and Bang (he couldn't get the gun to work so it went off after we started). 1-7:43 2-7:06 3-7:15 4-7:15 5-7:44 uphill section felt fine. Michelle is hear cheering. 6-7:20 7-7:14 8-7:20 9-7:25 10-7:19 feeling good still but can tell the end will be a struggle. See Ericka and Mel here. 11-7:25 12-7:42 13-7:34 knew I started to fast but maybe just maybe I can hold on half way 1:37 and starting to feel it oops. 14-7:28 15-7:36 slowly but surely starting to loose it. I have pitchers to document to torment on my face. 16-7:41 17-7:49 18-7:50 at this point I want to be done but I can't give up because my kids will be waiting for me at the end. Plus I am just to stubborn to quit. 19-7:59 20-8:20 and the 7's are gone and the death march begins. 21-8:24 I think here is the last time i see Michelle drive past and I want to stick out my thumb for a ride. 22-8:22 23-8:45 OH MY GOODNESS 24-8:36 25-8:39 26-8:55 Can I just be done know PLEASE .33-2:37 (7:55) my garmin got it .33 so that is what I put. I finish and saw my loving children and husband as well as Ericka and Mel who are also very loving to come cheer me on for the whole race. Got some post race goodies and went to IHOP for pancakes. I didn't get sick and was very hungry.
