I have mixed emotions about this race. But first I would like to thank Logan and Clide for volunteering to pace the 3 hour pace group.
I started out having a goal of breaking 3 hour pace group and after running the top of utah half marathon in 1:24:15 five weeks ago. I was feeling going sub 3 hours was very believable. Then 4 weeks ago my foot started to hurt. The top of my foot on the bone that goes to the second hurts. I had to take 600 grams of Ibprofine to I didn't lip starting the marathon. With the drugs I didn't feel the foot during the marathon. I don't think the foot got any worse from running it. I am so sore I just might be feeling everything else instead.
I set the alarm for 3:30 am on friday night and go to sleep. I sleep ok until about 2:45 then I start waking up every 10 minutes. At 3:10 or so I remember seeing the clock and going back to sleep the next thing I know I wake up at 4:00 am and jump out of bed. I had set the alarm then not turned it on. My wife and I are both running the marathon so we quickly jump out of bed get dressed. We had all are stuff set out the night before. I ate a little breakfast., 2 Toast and 2 eggs and some bananas. I grab a 32 ounce Gatorade and drive to get on the bus. Riding up on the bus takes a long time. When I get up to the start I kiss wife good by and go into the elite area. I use the porta potties twice and finish off the 32 ounce Gatorade, Find the Clide and Logan and we are off. About 30 seconds before they started the race my Garmin beeps. I look down and I says lost signal.
The race
The Race starts and I press start on my watch. After running for a few mintes I look down and my garmin hasn't registured that I have ran at all. I am running with the pace group and letting Logan and Clide determine the pace so it wasn't to big of a deal. For the first few miles at the mile marker I would press the lap button so I could check my splits. Then as we are coming up the the 4th or 5th mile I look down at my watch and the lap distance is right on and so I never have to hit the lap button any more. Exept when I look at the total distance it said I had gone 19 miles. I only wish, that was the easiest 19 miles I have ever run. I continue to run with the pace group. The pace feels ok maybe a little fast but not to bad. At the bottom of Veyo hill I get a drink and look up and the pace group and put about 30 yards on me. I try to run easy up Veyo I was planning on closing the gap after Veyo but by the time I reached the top The pace group was no were to be seen. I run up Damrin valley and come to the half with the clock reading 1:31 even. I am thinking I am feeling a little tired but I can negative split this thing and start going down the hills. I don't like the hill at 19 that mile was not fun. At the 20 mile marker the clock reads 2:18 even and I think 42 minute 10K that is very aided and can do that. I run a few 6:45 mile and some 6:35 miles feeling pretty good until I get to town. With about a mile and a half to go my left hamstring cramps up. That hurts. When I get to the clock at 25.2 mile it reads 2:52:00 and I know breaking 3 is not possible. I knew a 6 minute mile was not in me. I stayed with the group of runners I was with and ran the last mile in about 7:48. I finished in 3:01:48. A PR of 14 minutes and Boston Qualified. When I finished I about fainted and they steared me into the first aid tent. The Iced my down. After a few minutes I was about to go into the runners area were I ate about everything I could find. I got a message then walked to my car and tried to go get my kids to see my wife finish. I don't know St George very well and I am tired. I get my kid and head back to the finish line. My wife was trying to finish in 6 hours. I find a place to park and trying to hurry as fast as I can to see my wife finishing. I have to Carry my 38 pound kid because thursday he cut his foot and has 7 stitches in his heel. I get a call on the cell phone that my wife has finished. She finished in 6:05:??. I will let her tell about her race. After the marathon we had to get ready for my sisters wedding. She got married at 6:00 that night. I am tired and sore. On sunday I drove back to Brigham City a 5 and a half hour drive. I will record my splits later
