Excellent race today, but I don't think I've fully recovered from last weekend. (Don't think I'll be running as much this week, as I've still got one more half next weekend) The nice thing about Top of Utah - they seem to be very organized. We started about 10 minutes late, but that's okay. MUCH better than last weekend's 45 minute late start! These guys could really show Hobble Creek a thing or two about organization! Here are my mileage breakdowns: 1&2 - 15:34 (I totally missed the 1st mile marker, which is a little frustrating, but understandable in the crowd) 3 - 7:46 4&5 - 15:47 (Missed mile marker 4. How did that happen??) 6 - 7:41 7 - 7:45 8 - 7:53 9 - 8:25 (the mile marker came after the aid station here, so I had my break before clocking it) 10 - 8:07 11 - 8:31 12 - 9:25 (This was rough mile. Bit of an uphill on the road, and I am REALLY feeling tired!) 13 - 8:57 Overall, I'm pleased with today. According to the race predictor, this is about what to expect after my time from last week. Wish I would have rested up a bit more, though, because I was really feeling the effects of last week's run. I would like to see what I could do totally rested on this one. Next year. . . :) |
