Ran the Snow Canyon Half this morning- new course. Love the changes, much faster. Did well with a PR 1:32:46 Had some blister issues at around mile 9. Fatigue got me towards the end but overall I am satisfied. 6:41/ 6:52/ 6:41/ 6:13/ 6:08/ 6:21/ 6:36/ 7:42 first hill slowed down a bit 7:51 took shoes off and put some wintercrest on the feet and lost some time 7:33 fighting to finish strong 7:45/ 7:52 realizing sub 1:30 wasn't going to happen today 7:39 just get this done, feet are both hurting-blisters/ 7:35 average pace 7:03 course measured out as 13.14 I have been thinking about the race today and trying to compare it to Cedar Canyon. I have decided that Cedar is faster at least for me. Today I ran a much better, controlled, no whimping out and walking race and only beat Cedar by 29 seconds. Had I ran with today's effort I am sure that I would have run 2-3 minutes faster than today. Cedar I could look back and find port a potty break and several walk breaks in the last 2 1/2 miles. Today I did have a shoe break but no walk breaks so 1 minute I could have saved without that break- Also Cedar was 13.03, helps out in the time thing too!
