AM - Since i had some hours to kill in Provo, i started my run going backwards on the Halloween Half course. (It turns out that its a bit hazardous to run against the grain when a race of that magnitude is taking place. Tons of runners and a lot of them don't see you coming until its almost too late.) I did my best not to be a menace, jumping off into the weeds and rocks at times. When i hit the Vivian park area, i diverted for a half mile up the other canyon to increase my mileage then turned came back and joined up with the racers going in the right direction. (And no i wasn't a bandit, i didn't take any of the drinks at the water stops... ) Was able to pick up the pace on the way back, but it was tough working thru everyone on the crowded trail.
(10:17, 8:00, 8:00, 8:08, 7:56, 7:37, 8:13, 6:57, 7:08, 6:49, 6:50, 6:50, 6:49, 6:48, 2:25) |
