20.05 2:25:01 160/174 TOU Half Start - TOU finish and home. Plan - 18 miles at MP+10% (7:21?). Actual - 13.6 miles at 7:16 average, then a small progression of 5 miles at 6:55 followed by 1.44 miles around 7:22 . Nice canyon wind coming out of Blacksmith Fork Canyon. Sun came out at TOU 24.1. Very nice run. I sort of felt like I was running out of energy about the same time the sun come out (though it had nothing to do with the sun) but pushed through and felt good shortly thereafter. I saw Scott Ensign just as I rounded the corner to the TOU finish and passed him as he stopped for a drink at the TOU finish area. Talked to him a bit after - he caught me when I finished running at my home. He's fast - I don't think I'll be seeing very much of him at the marathon! 0.61 4:42.6 139 - TOU half to TOU 8 1.0 7:17.1 151 - 9 1.0 7:09.6 158 - 10 1.0 7:19.1 159 - 11, gatorade 1.0 7:11.0 158 - 12 1.0 7:18.5 158 - 13, gatorade 1.0 7:06.3 155 - 14 1.0 7:14.5 156 - 15, gatorade 1.0 7:17.8 159 - 16 1.0 7:23.0 157 - 17, gatorade 1.0 7:12.5 160 - 18 1.0 7:22.4 163 - 19, gatorade 1.0 7:17.6 165 - 20 1.0 7:05.1 161 - 21, PowerBart gel - strawberry/banana 2.0 14:29.3 163 - 22, 23 (there is no new 22 mile marker so I didn't press the lap button as I waited to find it - 22 was 7:18, 23 was 7:11), forgot gatorade - drank about halfway to 24 1.0 7:02.3 167 - 24 1.0 7:00.2 166 - 25, gatorade 1.0 6:55.1 168 - 26 0.2 1:31.3 173 - 26.2 0.14 0:58.6 171 1.1 8:06.3 171 - gatorade past halfway mark |
