The Canyonlands Half Marathon was my first pacing experience in 2013. Though it is only March, for some reason I felt I was behind schedule this year for half marathons. I guess that's what running halfs in January the past few years will do to you. ;)

I chose to lead the 2:30 group this time around. I usually will cover the 1:50-2:20, but when I'm not familiar with the course at all, I like to play it safe and keep my time super conservative. I'm also pacing my first full marathon in May (Eek!), and I thought the 2:30 spot would be great practice for my 5:00 full.

After the race, Troy commented that as each pacing group went by, the runners were continually looking more exhausted. When I saw this photo I giggled. By the time the 2:30 arrived, I was definitely the only one smiling. :)

Finish line!
I came in with 18 seconds to spare! I had a fabulous time covering this event, and an amazing weekend in Moab with the hubby. I can't wait to go back for our fall Moab race!
