Paced the 1:40 group at Timp half yesterday. It was a fun race and there was one lady that stayed with me the entire race. She finished just 10 seconds in front of me. I loved it! Several others hung very close and thanked me afterwards. I finished in 1:39:43 so 17 seconds early but I will take it. I will post projected splits and actual splits later when I pull out my garmin but I was pretty dang right on the money which makes me happy. :)
The race finished about 50 yards from American Fork High School track so I headed straight to the track to finish my workout. 2 tempo miles in 6:39, 6:27. I was just planning on marathon pace but these paces felt very "comfortably hard" almost too comfortable. I thought about doing one more mile but wanted to play it safe. Jogged a half mile and called it a day.
Lots of fast running yesterday at Timp. Major congrats to Scott who knocked 4 minutes off of his time from last year! Such an amazing example that hard training definitely pays off. Also a huge shout out to Kelli who killed it in 1:23! Lets just say I was glad to be holding a stick and just pacing instead of racing yesterday. :) |
