This was a good race. I was really glad to meet everyone and put lots of faces to names. I swear that Kim knows EVERYONE.
Harrumph... the results were posted and my name isn't even in there. Some sort of error because once again I was dumb. This time instead of switching my wife numbers I put my bib on backwards so the number wasn't showing. I was pretty sure that got corrected at the finish line but I guess it wasn't. I imagine I didn't even have a chance at winning something at the raffle =). As for the race description itself. Ran pretty much the whole thing with Kim. She had thought she was going to run a slower race. We started chatting and I guess the conversation was interesting enough that she decided to can the pacing and she stayed with me. The good news is I am pretty sure we negative splitted. Which I am way excited about. I also learned that Chocolate gus are much better than berry flavors for me. I am also confident I am going to beat my 4:00 st george goal. This was a good primer race... I liked hobble creek because it gave me an idea of the pounding I will get from all the downhill at st george. I like this race because its smaller and has some hill in the middle.
Big hoorah for the Spanish Fork Running Club for putting on a good event. There was plenty of fruit at the end. For next year though... don't forget to have gu at the ready!
