Couldn't sleep well the night before but man what a legendary race. For my first half marathon, Im pretty stoked. The clock was 15 off so I about flipped my lid when my mom told me that I ran a 01:04:05. Sigh thanks mom. But anyways arrived pretty early in what I think was the first bus w/ Carson. We did some mosh pit dancing stuff to stay warm and not freeze our butts off. Got some weird looks haha. Coach Holt showed up so that was pretty neat! Ugh but I wish so much I could've held the race with those guys! Just have to train harder. Anyways, the start was just some lady counting down... I guess in track season and such I'm expecting a gun but hey whatever. Took off down an industrial road somewhere in Hurricane. Ran around some neighborhoods and flew downhill in Coral Canyon. (TH was Evan doing?) It had warmed up to a gorgeous day by then and Logan caught up to me around the Landfill Rd. Me and him cruised down through hell hole and the whatchamacallit trail with some epic tag teaming. Logan was a big help for me pushing thx dude! The hardest part was the flat road after sullivan. Only thing i was dissatisfied with was this part. Was really tough having a good attitude/pace after logan started to pass me up and the hurt really kicked in. Not really used to holding tempo for such a long time but I think I managed myself well. Picked up aways before Staheli Farm and passed some other dude for a quicker finish. Good job PVXC we literally destroyed that race! Can't wait for next year!!
