my watch died at 11miles, here are my splits: took a half of GU at about 5-6 miles, one before race.
mile 1 6:22 mile 2 6:23 mile 3 6:12 mile 4 6:12 mile 5 6:11 mile 6 6:21 mile 7 6:22 mile 8 6:27 mile 9 6:24 mile 10 6:21 mile 11 6:30 watch died at 11.07miles and 1:10:16
last 2+ miles at 13:00 minutes. many seemed to think that the course was long but my watch let me down. This was a good race for me. I had 4 goals in mind heading into the race. goal 1 match or better last years time of 1:22:42 goal 2 run my splits at the same pace goal 3 focus on breathing to avoid side aches which seem to plague me in longer races goal 4 good leg turnover esp. on the up hill sections considering that last years course was short, my time this year is probably at least equal and i feel good about the race. i have to admit that i surprised myself a little bit. my training in oct,nov,dec was very low key(so few miles that i didn't even keep track). 3 weeks ago i ramped up the running to hit the mid 30's to prep for the race. sometimes less is more because i ran alot more miles leading up to the same race last year. it was a fun race and i don't mind an honest course as apposed to the downhill races that we usually find in southern utah.
