Ogden Marathon... I tried for a 3:20.  I was done at mile 18.  The last 8 miles was all downhill but my quads were shot!!  I wore compression socks for the first time.  My lower legs felt great, but my quads seemed to take the brunt of the small rollers in the middle of the race.

I think Ogden is a very tough race. That downhill killed me last year, too.

Sorry it was not as fast as you wanted, but save that for another day as I know it will come!

My first half was right on for a 3:20, but when I started down ogden cyn, the pain was just too much!!!

I think it is very interesting. So many people expect it to be a faster race, but that DOWN is so steep and your legs are fried by that point. It is not my favorite. St George rules the marathon universe in my books!

You are absolutely right on!!! I will try Ogden again, but with a different strategy in mind. Also, I noticed that the average finishing times were not as fast as other marathons. Are you running St George this year?

At least you beat your wife. Wife beater!
