Race: St. George Marathon (26.2 Miles) 03:39:39, Place overall: 1041, Place in age division: 89
Total Distance
26.20

Completed my first Grand Slam.  Since I DNF'd Odgen I was taken out the competition so I did the next best thing which was to run a substitute marathon and finish.  Big Cottonwood was the substitute.

This was my first St. George.  Now I know what everyone is talking about.  This is a wonderful marathon.  Easy on the legs, nice course and it's fun to have runners around you the entire run.

I was in no shape to run my best but I didn't embarrass myself and feel okay with a 3:39:39.  I had to jump in the car and drive back to Salt Lake shortly after I finished so I needed to be in decent condition.  I doubt I could have run it any faster anyway.

Not bad considering I was just shredded by Big Cottonwood three weeks prior where I ran a 3:43 and suffered a death shuffle the last 6 miles.

I'm excited now that my running has pretty much concluded for the year and I'm left with setting up next year.  I'm thinking of doing the Grand Slam again since I was unable to be a part of the overall time competition.  I sure don't like Desnews or Utah Valley but my desire to compete may offset this.
