13.1 miles in 2:05

Today was the Ogden Half Marathon. We trained so well and I blew it on race day.  We averaged 8:40 pace most runs leading up the race.  We even did 3 long runs (14, 12, & 10) before the race, up hill.  Race day was spectacular. The sky was clear and it was perfect running weather.  At 4 miles, Amanda was pacing at 8:30, and I started to get sick.  I patted her on the back and encouraged her to go on.  Then I threw up, and then I had to stop 4 times to use the porta-johns. Food poisoning (I found out later...).  Why am I always in the porta-johns?  Geeze.  But the course is spectacular, downhill most of the way along the resevoir and river.  I would like to go the full marathon next year just to have more scenery. Amanda finished in 1:53 and I came limping in at 2:05.  We came back to see the first marathon finishers who started coming in at 2:24.  Sasha crossed the finish somewhere around 2:34.  We cheered him at the finish line, but he was too delirious to remember who we were (plus all those days he passes us on the trail going the speed of light).
