Due to low sleep through the week and head ache and stomach ache issues on Friday I was not 100% for this race.  I did give it what I had and I will attempt to tackle it again next year.  Outside of the race I really had a fantistic time talking with several bloggers, American Flyer pacers, and other friends.  In retrospect the one good thing about not being 100% is that minus a few blisters my body has no clue that I race a half marathon.  I plan to do a time trial along the Provo River half course late April to get a fast half under my belt before Odgen.

Still a respectable time. I know that's not what you were aiming for but I admire your resolve to run even though you weren't feeling great.

Chad, great to see you on Saturday. Sorry your race didn't go as well as you hoped. I really like Riverton. You have a great stomping ground.

Nice Half. Good job!
