Race: St. George Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:36:45
Total Distance
14.00

am--14 Twas a good time this morning. I warmed up from Hilton Dr. because the traffic was horrible. Today's race was my second race since STG 2009. I really wasn't sure what to expect. So I just went out and ran. 

The course seemed pretty honest, and I was able to hold my pace in the mid-7s. Judging by those who were in my general area, I dropped off slightly after mile 9. Nevertheless, this is a ~5 min. PR @ the distance. Too bad my time is in absentia on the Stride Racing site. At least, there is a fitness baseline to operate with going forward. Congratulations to all who ran.

Nice job Travis! A 5 min. PR?? Sweet!

Unless you made that all up. After all, you're results aren't listed...

Nice race! A PR for the first race of the year- that is awesome

Good work Travis! You looked strong coming down the finish.

From allie on Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 21:08:44 from 174.23.123.195

way to go on the big PR today. that's definitely a good start to the year!

Thanks, guys.

Burt--I thought I ran well, or did I? It's my word against the world.

Scott--I had some race anxiety going into this one. It's impressive how much you get out and race. Nice job.

James--Maybe I needed to push harder if I looked strong at the end. I was just trying to hold on. It was a bummer to see you in street clothes before the race. You need a blessing from the running gods.

Allie--Thanks for your comments. I wasn't sure who you were when I first read your comment. Then I realized that I had browsed through your blog a few times. The progressive improvements that you've shown are inspiring to a "newbie" like me.

Great race Travis - but I just told you that!
