So I will update the post when they post the results... then I can see if I accomplished my #1 goal. This was a difficult race!! The first four miles was down the canyon, so it seemed warm even though there were a few snow flurries. In fact I took off my gloves and unzipped my jacket. But I was glad that I didn't dump them because as soon as you were out of the canyon and around the bend you got blasted with a cold head wind that would not give up.... AHHH I though I was running in place at some points. This on top of the rolling part was killing me. So goal #2 was to keep my pace below 9:30. Here are my laps: 8:40, 8:49, 9:00, 9:08, 9:00, 9:16, 9:12, 9:13, 9:47 (this is where the wheels were starting to wobble. My goal here was to not stop and walk) 9:30, (able to rally a bit) 9:51 (not for long) 9:36, 9:24, the last .1 8:04! So I didn't make goal #2, but I feel pretty good about it. My garmin read 2:01:03, that is about 4 minutes faster then Moab!! so that feels pretty good. When I get my results I'll let you know if goal #1 was accomplished... wish me luck! ** Family things... My oldest daughter's birthday is Sunday, she will be 28, I can't believe my baby girl is that old. I don't feel much older then that! I will get to take her shopping and have some fun with her :) Also my oldest son took the gmat test today... his past three pre tests were 720, 720 and 730... he was hoping for a 700. I think he did a fantastic job... he got a 690. He was a bit disapointed, but he will accept it for now.
