Ran this race with being fueled from a crappy time in Moab. Got my pacers all ready and to the start and lined up and started with a quick sprint from the start to the main highway. By the first turn at .2 miles I was alone. I didn't have my watch on but I felt like I wasn't going that fast. At mile two I actually looked back to see if anyone was behind me and there wasn't anyone for a quarter mile. The course is uphill which I have a tough time with. I also had a head wind the whole way. Nothing like Moab's last week but still not favorable. I had to stop for a bathroom break which took 2 minutes off my time. When I came out there still wasn't anyone behind me. The last 2 miles are the hardest. Rollers with steeper short rise. My time was horrid. Not too fast for winning it outright but I'll take it. I was 5 full minutes behind my last years course record time. Fun day and very scenic! The pacers all came in with great groups and compliments to them for their help.
