Tough race especially considering I had torn and bleeding feet again this year. By the time I got to the mouth of Emigration I was on my tippy toes and fighting my own body mechanics. Just could not maintain pace. Threw up my Gatorade at mile 25 and right in front of people on the parade route too. Ugh.. very embarassing not to mention it cost me a 2:35 time also. Oh well, there is always the St George parachute drop to train for now! Still, It wasnot a bad time considering I only did singles with a long run on Saturdays. I will need to do doubles and get mileage over 80 a week though if I want to break my PR . I think I can do that now once again. Dark Horse out.
