Melody and I were going to try to run together and go for the course record, sub 1:19. Which seemed very doable if we were having a good day. Seeing Kodi at the starting line with a goal time of 1:15, I knew getting that record wasn't happening. But after her amazing performance, she deserves it! 1:12:55!!
Scott and Mike helped pace the whole race. I ran pretty consistent throughout and felt really good. For the first time I decided to try a GU at mile 6. Then just my luck I knocked the water cup down. Melody saved me and shared her water. That GU really helped. I felt really strong through mile 11, but I could still hold on to my pace till the finish. Placing 2nd.
I was so happy to see a my time, being faster than my goal. My garmin said 13.15 in 1:17:16, AP 5:53. For some reason the chip timing was off a bit. Melody came charging in soon after and broke 1:18!! It was really a perfect day, and with the help of Scott and Mike, Melody and I were able to pull off some good performances.
Spent the rest of the day riding around with Lee on a 4-wheeler and playing with farm animals.
