HPb 10 - Rock Canyon Half Marathon

Ventured south for the Pueblo Rock Canyon Half Marathon and had a pretty decent time.  Had a slow first mile due to all the crowding (7:04), then ran well for the next ten miles.  At eleven miles I really tried to go for a sub-90, but I just couldn't will my legs to turnover quick enough.  Which I kind of expected, nowing I wasn't in very good shape and it having been a long time since I ran a short race.  Plugging in my time into the RW predictor, I should be able to run a 3:08:02 marathon right now, and I still have two months to get in better shape before Austin.

Ended up finishing in 32nd place (out of 501 finishers), which was good enough for 3rd place in the 30 to 34 age group.
