What a great way to represent GU!! I wasn't sure if I should have raced this one. I decided that it would be a great training/tempo run leading up to the Boston Marathon.
Dave Cook ran along side with me during the race. We both ran the first half around 7:00/mile. Not too bad. I think we were hoping to run just a tad bit faster. The second half was faster for the both of us. Dave Cook and I parted ways at this point. He blasted the 2nd half with amazing split times. I was pretty happy with my 2nd half performance.
I beat my course PR by almost 2 mintues. I thought about slowing the pace several times. I don't think it would have made a differnce if I ran the race fast or slow. Both ways it would have been hard on my legs. There was a pack of runners that I kept up with for most the race. This allowed me to run smart and even pace.
