Ok, I'm glad I was able to go down and race. It had been a rough last 2 weeks with sickness. Feeling OK about the race and happy I placed first in my age group. I didn't have a lot of expectations going into the race, I thought I would try and keep the pace at around 6:30-6:35. I fell off the pace a little bit in miles 10-12, I need to work on that in my training. This was still an improvement from the Snow Canyon Half I ran in early November even though the time doesn't reflect that but this was a harder course. So hoping I can start stepping up my training in this next session. 

The gun went off and I tried to keep it in the 6:30s here's splits for the first half,  6:24, 6:33, 6:26, 6:28, 6:29, 6:40, 6:43 miles 6 and 7 had some good uphill.Mile 8 6:35, mile 9 6:32. Then I got to complacent and let the next 3 miles slip away from me and didn't push like I should've, 6:52, 6:50, 6:54 This is the part of the race i need to work on I need to push through ALL miles. The last mile I woke back up, got back to 6:29, and ended up passing the girl that was in my age group for first.
