drove over to the bryce canyon half marathon. ran it on about 2.5 hours of sleep. weather was great. Splits as follows: mile 1 6:01 mile 2 6:01 mile 3 5:23 mile 4 5:28 mile 5 5:41 mile 6 5:40 mile 7 5:46 mile 8 6:07 mile 9 6:18 mile 10 6:03 mile 11 6:10 mile 12 6:18 mile 13 5:54 .11 mile .31 Total time 1:17:27 This is a new PR for me by 1:12 over last years time on the same course. i felt like i ran a good race. going into it i felt like i needed to keep my splits a little more even. i struggled at mile 9 but fought through it better than last year. i should have took gu more often and earlier but stomach felt too unsettled. i took very little hydration during the race and only a half a gu at mile 7. i drank like crazy after the race. picked up my medal early and hurried back to the family reunion in pinevalley. Glad a went and ran the race. to be honest i didn't think i had a PR performance in me so i surprised my self. |
