St George Half Marathon
I was only running for fun today due to a lot of soreness from too much lifting this week in crossfit. I started out easy, the rain was light, and I was sweating heavy as usual! When I hit the hills after mile 2/3 my running was still easy, I found another gear, and started to run more effecient. I practiced hyperventilating on the uphills and the coach was right! I was bearly laboring up the hills. The last 4 miles was flat and that was when I had to dig a little deeper to keep the momentum going. Felt good at the finish and was surprised by my time. I was initially shooting for a 1:45. I crushed it at the end.
I had to stop to help a friend on mile 11 after she slipped and rolled. She was pretty trashed and cried for the next quarter mile. I made sure she was okay. She must have got mad because she stayed on my heels for the next 2 miles. :)
Splits: 7:38, 7:30, 7:27, 7:09, 7:20, 7:27, 7:26, 6:40, 7:21, 7:20, 7:38, 7:10, 6:53
3 hours later we hit the crossfit gym... :D I did some muscle up drills, GHD's, and 16 reps of the Bear Complex... It's a series of lifts with 115 lbs... Clean, front squat, push press, back squat, jerk press. Good Stuff!!! |
