Race: Ogden 1/2 Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:58:56

My first Ogden half.  The course is really pretty.  I didn't mind the rain at all, much better than overheating. This is the first half/full where I've kept a pretty steady pace for the whole race rather then slowing down so I'm really happy about that. Especially with my lackluster training...

Here are a few additional highlights:

- the sprinklers turning on at the start of the race while everyone was waiting for the port-o-potties.

- so much rain that my headphones shorted out by mile 5.

- running back up the course for 20+ minutes to find a friend, but they had already finished. doah

- sitting at the bag claim area forever shivering to death. 

- watching the top 5 marathon runners finish the race.

ran up the first major climb for the Squaw Peak 50 to calm my pre-race nerves a bit, since most of the course is new to me.  the trail was a bit muddy but i'll take that over dry and dusty.  the wildflowers are starting to bloom.  the course is going to be in perfect shape for race day. (june 1st)
