Ran with Sarah my daughter up to daybreak and did a hill workout. 4x800's up hill and 4x400s up hill. A very hard workout and I needed it! Good to see Sarah picking it up!

I met my pacers this morning and got a quick photo with them and got them off and ready. I got a mile warmup with striders in the mix and did a bit with James Barnes. We got lined up and there was a bit of wind that kicked up. The race started on time and we were off. I immediately took a lead by the first corner and waited a bit to see if anyone would come up on me. I know Toni is a great runner so I was expecting him to go out a bit faster. I was by myself by mile one with a nice tail wind and slight down hill at 5:05! Holy crap, I kept thinking I wished this would just go straight north the whole time. Mile 2 had a turn with cross wind an my first up hill challenge and then straight into the wind. 5:31. Mile 3 was another head wind that was in the subdivision which seemed stronger as it funneled the wind to us. 5:38. Mile 4 was the ******* hill that takes you to a crawl but is only about .25 mile long and then I had my first taste of tail wind again! Yeah. 5:48. Then it was back to a head wind and a bit of a drop to the park trail which I knew would slow me down being ahead by myself with 3.5 miles of headwind. I kept a look out for the ones behind but couldnt see them. I suffered these miles which are so hard with some hill and of course wind. It wasnt as bad as Canyonlands though which I kept telling myself! 5 was 5:50, 6 was 6:08 and then I had a 6:18. Then 8 was a 6:40~ blah! finally got off the trail and into a cross wind and then finally back to a tailwind. mile 9 was 6:08, 10 was 5:59. Yeah! I broke 6 minute pace. Then a roller and another ******* hill that goes straight up! Then a last gully then flat and finish. I hit 1:17:51. I had to grit my teeth and go for it the last .1 when I saw the clock at 1:17:20 something. I got $100.00 and another wagon wheel trophy. 2 more wheels and Ill have enough to make my wagon!

My pacers did freaking awesome as usual and I had a ton of compliments and the race director was amazed! She said it makes a difference so im glad to see that! Made a ton of new friends and saw those stalkers from dailymile for the first time. lol Good day!
