Well, the second marathon has arrived. Ferelyn and her kids came out for the race.
We arrived at the buses at 4:00am. It started to rain 🙂
We made it to the start line at 5:00am. We grabbed space blankets and tried to keep warm. It poured rain for about 1/2 hour.
In our rain gear ready to go! We couldn’t decide if we should drop our rain coats or not. The clouds were looking like it wanted to rain again so we made the decision to run with them on. I also ran in a long sleeve shirt because of the cold.
I’m definitely going to run this next year. It was so cold up top, I will bring my rain jacket and drop it before the race starts. I will also run in a short sleeved shirt as well. Just like the Heber half, it got hot after leaving the canyon.
It was a very beautiful race. Not as steep as the Heber half.
Ferelyn running backward trying to keep me running. She is a strong runner. I strive to be her while I train.
Fun trail.
At the finish line!
I finished 2:19. Again, the 7 miles of hills helped my time.
It was a fabulous race and I will be doing it next year. I just hope Ferelyn runs next year with me. I think that was why it was so fun.
