Awesome race! I took 7 minutes off my time last year (1:39:07). It felt hard, but running with Michelle the whole way TOTALLY helped to pace me, so when those last three flat, hot miles through 1700 North and Main Street came up, we were able to keep our 7:04 minute pace!

Our first mile was actually the slowest, despite the downhill, just trying to extricate ourselves from the blob of people that were crushed together at the start line. And my legs felt tired right from the start, but by mile 4 they started to feel a little better. Then they got tired again, but I was able to push through it.

So I am so excited for St. George! The race predictor was totally right for this race, after I put in my Deseret News time of 43:37. So with a 1:32 at Hobble Creek, it predicts I can do faster than a 3:30 at St. George, which is my goal! Yay!
