Awesome time of year to run down in Southern Utah. Perfect temperature. Slightly chilly at the start, light breeze during the race, nice and sunny but not too hot by the end. Harder course than last year. Slight uphill in miles 0-5, huge climb during mile 6, slight decline in miles 7-13.1. Raced into the top 10 runners during the first quarter mile and didn't change position much after that. Passed one guy at about 3 miles, one other guy on the big hill, and must have passed AmberG while she was off in the bushes in the second half.
Splits: (7:03, 7:13, 7:24, 7:08, 7:20, 8:39, 6:56, 7:07, 7:12, 7:09, 6:51, 6:49, 6:57, 0:55) Not a huge field of runners. The overall 2nd place guy was in my age group, so I moved up to 1st place in Master's, receiving an engraved medal and a couple of decent gift certificates. Fun to have my family and some friends there cheering at the finish line. Nice day of hiking in Zion afterward.
Power Gel at 4 and 8.

Target time was 3:12, stayed under that pace thru 19 miles (but realistically I was feeling early signs of fatigue and accompanying negative thoughts by the halfway mark...) At 19 miles shifted gears into 'stay under 8 minute miles' mode... (this worked until mile 23). shifted gears again to 'just don't walk' mode... completely drained of energy, maybe a bit dehydrated too, last 3.2 miles were very very tough physically and mentally... thought i heard my name called out by someone during last half mile, but not completely sure... happy to cross the line and be done.

Analysis:
Insufficient downhill training. Insufficient long runs. Ten pounds heavier than at SGM. Mini-taper only. Should have backed off pace more in the first half. Inadequate number of Gels? (4 total, at 5, 9, 13, 18 miles)
Regardless it was a good training run. Will be better trained and better prepared for next one! |

one of my best running companions became terminally ill this week, so i came into the race knowing i was on my own. no pacing help available. i'd have to do it all by feel. new territory for me.
but it was also liberating in a way. i decided not to put any pressure on myself. just run the race hard and enjoy the journey and be happy with the results no matter what.
so i did. it was a good race. beautiful scenery. great weather. net result, +23 seconds slower than last year's finish time. it could have been better. but it could have been worse. i can live with that.
as for my running companion, he's on his way to Texas for diagnosis. if all works out, i'll get a cash refund of my original purchase price and i can apply it toward another Garmin 205 to replace him. he was just over 2 years old (from my experience that's like 80 in GPS years...). but the extended warranty that i purchased for him 2 years ago was about to expire within 14 days, so the timing worked out well.

Race notes:
Primary goals for the day were: BRONZE) beat last year's time, SILVER) average under 7:00/mile pace, GOLD) run Sub-3 hours. The Gold medal possibilities started to slip away after mile 17. The Silver after about 21. And the Bronze, somewhere around mile 24.5...
I gave it a good attempt and left everything out there on the course. Better pacing would likely have yielded at least a PR time, but I feel pretty good about how I ran thru the first 21 miles. Just ran out of energy. From that point on i was just trying to slow the bleeding... at least i didn't completely slam into the wall like i had done at Ogden.
Took Gu's at 3, 7, 11, 15 and 19. (I don't like carrying that many! Hard to stomach all those but it was probably the right number for me.)
Should have grabbed a second cup at some water stations. (Felt very thirsty at the end.) After depriving myself for a month, that Diet Coke in the finishing area tasted excellent.
Even with a slower time than last year, overall placing was higher. Maybe the extra heat affected a lot of peoples finish times...

PM - Work sponsored 5K. My co-worker sprinted into the lead and a gapped me by a few seconds. I figured he wouldn't be able to maintain the pace so I stayed patient and just kept him within reach. He started to lose momentum and I passed him up just after the first mile. I snuck a peek and the 3rd place guy was still about a hundred yards back, so i just put it into cruise control. I looked back again after the second mile during a short out & back section of the course, and the 3rd place guy had moved into 2nd, but by my mental timing he was a good 40 seconds behind by now, so i eased back on the pace some more (plus this is the big uphill section). Ended up about 50 seconds ahead by the finish. Not a stellar time by any means, but it was enough to bring home the $75 prize. Mission accomplished. (6:23, 6:45, 7:11, 0:50) Official time 21:08.
Short 0.8 cooldown running back to meet up and finish the race with my son. |

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.
