Provo Half Marathon – New Personal Best

Running, Training 3 Comments »

I ran the Provo half marathon today with Tammy and Merri. Tammy and Merri ran the relay and I ran the entire half marathon. I killed my previous fastest time by almost 30 minutes. I finished in 1:52:30 1:53:15. My average heart rate was 181bpm and my max was 197bpm. The watch says I burned 1684 calories which 30% was fat… sweet. Looks like after a year of training for triathlons I am finally getting faster. YEH! Can’t wait to see how I am doing in 1 year from now.

Tammy and our next door neighbor Merri had a time of 1:43 for their half marathon relay. They are kicking butt! IT was nice getting to run with Tammy for the first part of the half.

On a side note, I wore my sweet mustache at the start of the race but it fell off around mile 3. I need to make sure I bring backups next time. I will post a picture when I find one.

– Time Edit. After looking at the pictures I was off by 45 seconds. My actual time was 1:53:15, which is still a personal best. –
