Well the weather was beautiful... The course was good. This wasn't my finest hour. I should have know better, I didn't feel good going in, and didn't sleep well the night before. I saw some friends at the start and they had a different race plan than me. They wanted to go out fast. I knew that was a bad idea. I wanted to go out slow and steady. The beginning of this race is downhill, then you hit some rollers about mile six and nine and ten. I went out fast and faded at mile 6. I enjoyed the course and had fun in Moab. I'd run this again, what a beautiful course. Pretty good time in Moab, but not my finest race. I think that was close to my slowest 1/2M. There's always next year..... |
