I really enjoyed running the half marathon last year here. Kendall puts together a great event from the awesome sponsors, to organized schedule, to many included activities at Thanksgiving Point, and a well marked course. This year was no different, even with the rain. I ran the 5k this year and loved it.
My goal was to run a good tempo effort. The first mile seemed slightly up, the second mile was a mix of flat, and then up/down with tight turns in the gardens, and then finished with a nice down hill and flat to the finish. I started out 10th and came into 4th place after the first mile. I stayed in 4th as the top 3 Sojourner guys duked it out, pulling further and further away.
My splits were 6:21 6:21 6:00 :37. I didn't run with a Garmin, I just went off the mile markers.
Soon after thd race the rain picked up and it got colder, so I was glad to be done after a short cool down.
There were some great performances by the Runners Corner Sojourners men and women! I had a great time and hope to be back in the half next year.
Sorry no pictures
