Personal:

I am originally from Knoxville, TN and moved to SLC with Jake in 2010. I started racing in 2011 and had some great success before a major injury hit me in July 2012. I had athletic pubalgia surgery in May 2013...then again in Sept 2014 and am still trying to get back to my old self. Although running is my true passion, I love doing pretty much anything active outdoors - backcountry skiing, backpacking, biking, etc.

I've been running for the Saucony Team since 2011. I enjoy representing the brand and really do believe they make the best shoes :)

I work as a Quality Engineer for BD Medical in Sandy.

Total Distance

1.50

Was out on the half marathon course to cheer for Jake and others. Did a pair of half-mile runs getting to different spots, then after the race got way over my head trying to do a cool down with Jake and Paul and maybe made it a half mile with them. I probably walked at least 3 miles today too. I feel extremely sore, probably worse than I did after racing here last year!

I predicted Jake's time within two seconds (my guess was 1:06:38).

I'm glad I came to Duluth even though I couldn't run. We had a fun time. This race is awesome and they treat all the runner (and their guests) so well.

Besides the heat, I always enjoyed my races there. They do a really good job.

Thats a lot of activity Andrea! Hope you're taking it easier today. I was pumped to see your 15 min run...

Bob - Yes, they are awesome. It was the last year for the current race director (he's retiring) so they really made it special for both him and the athletes.

Penny - I am definitely taking it easier today. Gotta be smart! I'm getting really excited...
