Had to cut my run short tonight. I figure I want to run well tomorrow and didn't want to bust out a 10 miler a night before a race.

Beautiful day for a race. Showed up to Weber State and like always good to see most people up there. Warmed up w/ Steve Shepherd for a little over 2 miles then took a gu and went to the start line. Noticed that Bryant Jensen wasn't there which means that moved me up to 1st place overall in the series. Which I feel guilty for winning by default, but that's what a circuit is I guess.

Started out with a 5:33 mile and had seperated the group, but still could here foot steps behind.

Mile 2 is a way steep down hill and hit 5:00 flat, by now steve and this other guy from Oregon was right there. So mile 3 I set back behind Steve and this other guy and went with the flow

mile 3 was 5:25, now me and steve had seperated the guy from Oregon

mile 4- 5:36 still just me and steve

mile 5- 6:28 now I am in 3rd!!! the guy we dropped was an animal on the hills passed steve and I like we weren't even running.

mile-6:32 caught steve, both of werent feeling to hot. I had a terrible gut ache, and steve had been sick. By mile 7 and the last huge climb, Finally belched out a ton of air and felt great.

Mile 7 was 6:56 no more hills for a couple miles at least.

Mile 8 and 9 were 5:11; 5:37. and had left steve by now

Mile 10 another big climb with fast downhill managed a 5:51.

Overall 2nd place, first in age. Legs are coming back, I was about 45 seconds slower than last year, but honestly I wasn't even planning on breaking 60 today. Now another 3 weeks of training for the WRC Half. Excited to run this race, always way competitive and humbling at the same time.
