2013 Salt Lake City Half Marathon -- Trevor Baker

Overall Time: 01:13:12
Place overall: 7
Place in age division: 2

For the past 4 months I've been excited for this race.  6 weeks ago, I hurt my foot being cheap and putting 700+ miles on a pair of kinvaras.  Hurt my foot pretty bad and couldn't run for 3 weeks straight.  The past 3 weeks have been ok.  I surely have lost fitness as running 13 miles @ 6:30's feels like my 21 miler a few weeks ago avging sub 6's.

Anyways, I didn't know what to expect here at this race.  I wanted to be competitive up front the best I could and see how long I could hang.  Went out aggressive and paid for it.  4:58, 5:18, 5:22, 5:16, 5:25, 5:56, 5:50, 5:56, 5:31, 5:43, 5:35, 5:52, 5:36, (5:06 pace to finish).

Not my best race in the world, but looking forward to getting my fitness back and break some PRs.
