RUN SLC 10k (6.2 Miles) 00:49:09, Place overall: 14, Place in age division: 3 | Running Miles | Swimming Yards | Bike Miles | 12.30 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| I wanted to do well but I also wanted to be realistic. Given my injury and my slow come back to running, my goal going into the race was 50 minutes or less. The course is flat as a pancake so I knew an 8 minute pace would be challenging yet attainable. That's exactly what it was. 10k is a tricky distance. I had to be really careful not to go out too fast and blow up in the second half. I almost prefer 5k's. They are more painful but the are only 3 miles. I kept my head space pretty good the entire time, trying to stay relaxed and focus on the right now instead of how much more I had. A couple other strategies I used were slight surges every once in a while, nothing huge just a nudge, and smiling. Smiling really does make you run faster!!
I did a 2 mile warm up at a really easy pace. My legs felt really good so I got a boost of confidence there.
I took a caffeine gel and started the race with a burst of adrenaline that was very noticeable. I slowed it down a bit and focused on staying in control and keeping good form. Good form while trying to run faster than I'm used to is proving to be a bit challenging. I feel sloppy but it's improving.
Splits:
1- 7:44 Super relaxed but scared I was going too fast.
2- 7:52 Controlled but feeling it.
3- 7:55 Ah, Liberty Park, my happy place. I know this park all too well; feels good to be in a familiar place.
4- 8:05 I let the bad thoughts of "only half way there" creep in but tried to focus.
5- 8:02 Legs feeling it, but I still felt good and in control.
6- 8:00 Sloppy legs, a little jello-like but reminded myself that there was a mile to go and I wasn't done yet. Plus, if the cute lady in front of me could do it so could I. I was also wondering why I wanted to run a completely flat half marathon again. Completely crazy!
.2- 1:30(7:37 pace) Felt good about the effort. I pushed and stayed in control.
Finish 49:09/7:55 pace
cool down to finish.

Ogden WRC Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:42:28, Place overall: 20, Place in age division: 6 | Running Miles | Swimming Yards | Bike Miles | 21.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| This race went surprisingly well for me. I didn't have high expectations going into it. I wasn't even really considering this to be a race I would "race". I've been pretty tired from my training lately and I did hill repeats on my bike on Thursday that left my legs feeling dead so I wasn't expecting my legs to feel fresh and strong. I was happily surprised that they felt pretty dang good and what started out with what I intended to be a training run turned out to be more of a race pace effort than I thought it would be.
The race is the exact same as the first half of the Ogden Marathon. It starts with about 4 miles of downhill, flattens out for several miles and ends with several miles of rollers. I wore a watch but rarely looked at it and mostly ran by effort. I checked my heart rate randomly and glanced a few times when it beeped my mile splits. When I saw that my legs were feeling good I made sure I was pushing at an effort that was difficult but sustainable. I really worked on staying mentally focused and relaxed. The last 5k I tried to really turn on the mental side of racing and worked through the fatigue I was starting to feel. I worked hard for those last three miles and I am really proud of my effort. It's hard to race when you're not feeling "it" and I'm glad I could switch gears and prove to myself that I can push.
Splits: 7:45, 7:56, 7:38, 7:38, 7:39, 7:42, 7:49, 7:51, 7:55, 7:47, 8:03, 7:52, 7:51, 1:11(7:26)
Finished with a 7 mile cool down w/ Josse. Good day :)
