13.1 Great morning for a race/run.  Ran the Cedar Canyon half marathon.  I wanted to run about 6:00 pace.  My Garmin had some trouble in the canyon and clocked it at 12.96 miles.  I think that the course was 13.1 and very accurate.  I think other runners with Garmins would verify this.

Splits: 5:57, 6:04, 6:02, 6:08, 5:56, 6:02, 6:11, 5:59, 6:03, 6:10, 6:10, 6:14, 5:36(.96 mile)

As you can see, garmin measured it short.  I am not sure which miles were actually faster.  I am guessing that during mile 5 my watch had some problems because I remember hearing it beep, looking down and it said weak GPS signal.  From then on it seemed that my splits were about a tenth mile after the mile markers.

 I am pleased with how it went.  I felt good and I feel like my body will recover quickly and soreness should be very minimal.  It is great to have a local race of this caliber.  For a first year race it was well organized and had a great turnout.

Nice job Ry! It was fun to run with you those first few miles. Hopefully things go this well in 2 weeks.

Nice job, sounds like a good course. I kept going back and forth about whether or not to do the race.

Good job man. Glad the race turned out well for you and good as a whole. Hopefully this race can grow to something big... maybe they will move the date so it's not so close to STG.

Great job Ryan. Now lets see that translate into a great STG.
