Parked west of Helaman Halls where we usually park for football games.  I wasn’t going to run it bc last night I had a wicked headache and a left leg cramp.  I set alarm for six to see if when I woke then I felt the same.  I went to bed at 1230 am/1am.  Decided I was o my up for SS run 7:50 Avg. The run to the start was slightly over a mile. Got to start with five minutes to spare but had to use potties. So I ran down the grassy hill to use the ports. Got out and the gun went off.  So climbed hill and started right then.  7:50 first mile. Starter one minute behind the start.  Pretty crowded. But bc I was so relaxed about pace it felt great.  Then rest of the race I just keep the same effort 7:28,7:33,7:39,7:37,7:42 and 7:12 pace for last 0.1.  Course short 0.1. My watch said 7:38 avg and race 7:31.  Same exact course as last year. Didn’t cut corners. In fact I added more on if anything.  46:39.   Fifth in age.  Steepest bracket for race times.
