Mesa Falls Half. After 3 week sof rest and aslow 5 mile race last week I was ready to go.
Started out on the dirt trail slower than I wanted, but when I hit the pavement I was ready to roll. Pushed hard on the hill (3.5-7) and got into a nice pace at mile 7and carried it out the rest of the way. Miles 7-11 are rolling, but I tagged a guy in front of me and reeled him in.
I felt really smooth and strong on the run and noticed that when I thought about pushing the pace for the last mile I tightened up and didn't drop any in time, but used more energy. Need to keep that in my head at Pocatello.
Really happy with my time on the course.
Splits:
6:52, 7:10, 6:56, 6:45, 7:17, 7:25, 7:09, 6:37, 6:38, 6:32, 6:38, 6:39, 6:37, 0:53( 0.14)
