am--14.5 My wife, sisters-in-law, father-in-law, and I did the Hurricane Half today. I had a bad week--I felt totally beat. On top of that, I had some major stomach issues this morning. My sister-in-law and I did a little warm-up. Then I did a cool down with my wife and my father-in-law. My wife has done this course before and swore that there wasn't a lot of incline. When we've made the drive back from Zion, however, I always seem to notice the incline and question her assessment of the course. Anyway, wanted to give it my best shot and try to finish in under 1:40:00. Here are the mile times from the Garmin--I finally figured out the Auto Lap. 

1--8:06

2--7:42

3--7:47

4--7:52

5--7:56

6--7:58

7--8:09

8--7:52

9--7:18

10--7:23 This and the previous mile were on the decline off of the plateau.

11--7:52

12--8:35 This was the incline into Hurricane. My stomach and mind were really shaky here.

13--7:26 The Garmin said this was .93. The course was around 13 if that long, and from mile 2 on the mile markers were about .50 off.

Overall, I was happy. I PRed by 8 minutes--would have still been around 6 minutes on a full 13. 1, but I know that I could've run stronger on a different day and am a little disappointed that I couldn't gut out something in the 1:30:00s. Also, congratulations to my sister-in-law, Ally--she placed first in her age division--and to my wife--she PRed  by a few minutes.

Nice job. Good job on figuring out that Garmin auto lap. Makes it more interesting to go back and look at your mile by mile times.

Good race. Hurricane half isn't the funnest race in the world. It's old slogan was "She's fast but she aint easy". I think that fits that course really good.

Nice race report. You were not sleeping in this one. Your pace was pretty steady even on some of those hills

SO CLOSE! Great job still. Just like we were saying yesterday, right?! That little climb is a lot more when you're running it for 7 miles! Too bad the course was off; it is really lame when you train hard and want a true PR and have to kind of guess at it when the course is off.

Keep swine free!

Good job today, those hills got to me also.

Great race Travis. It was good to see you and visit after the race. Look forward to seeing you around.
