They reported this race distance as 13.16 and sometimes I saw 13.2, but my watch reported 12.9 and my wife got 12.95.  The mile markers started getting off from the very beginning at mile 1 and slowly got worse.

It was a very nice course.  Mostly on trails or quiet roads.  The main trail come down out of a pretty canyon and then followed the river for a ways.  It was well marked and lots of traffic control.  The finishers metal was a cute little dog tag.

Here are my splits:

7:37

8:01

8:13

7:54

7:59

8:45

9:37

8:10

9:01

9:40

8:33

8:16

.9 *8:37 (pace)

 I was pretty pleased with some of my splits coming in under 8.  A little disappointed with a couple of miles that were in the high 9's.  That's where I did a little walking at the water stations and had a hard time getting going again. 

Overall it was a fun race, with about 400 runners.  After my last half, last fall, my only goal was to come in under 2 hours.  We had a great time in St. George running and visiting friends.

Good job DUG! I love how you mentioned that 'cute' little dog tag! Was that for me? :o) You need to wear it next Saturday so I can see it in person! Tell Lori good job too! I'm glad you guys got to go down and have some fun with Rhonda!
