Hobbler Half Marathon - 2014
More on this to come later. Had an 'okay' run. Not great. Felt a little flat from the get go. They changed the last ~3 miles of the course this year. I like the changes and this route is definitely faster, but the course was short by ~0.2. So I actually crossed the line in 1:10:28. The splits are a little discouraging when compared to the past 2 years. Not sure how I should interpret that. Admittedly, the fitness this year isn't quite where it was the past 2 years at this point in the year. Other excuses: Also felt really at this race both the past 2 years at this race. This time, not as much. Had a rough work week (especially Mon-Weds) that threw off my sleep and runs this week. Biked on Thursday, which probably wasn't a big deal though I generally like to be off the bike the Thurs and Fri before a Saturday race.
Good to race again though. Ogden full was my last ~2 months ago. Fritz dominated. He is looking very strong. It was good to be able to cool down with him afterwards. Kudos to Dave Taylor too who turned in a very fine race.
Timp half is this coming week, so we'll see how that goes.
P.M. - afternoon boating with the family followed by a ~40 mile Millcreek ride.
