Personal:

I know Sasha from the CS program at BYU. We both graduated in 1997. He probably doesn't remember me, because he was definitely more vocal in class and among the students than I was.

Married to Teresa with 3 kids: Anders (4), Kristian (9), and Zoe (12).

Fluent in Danish, but there is obviously very little need for that.

Mark and I wanted to go to a Denny's to get some light food that we could digest easily. It worked out pretty well. I didn't have much, but I forced myself to eat hashbrowns and 2 eggs.

Andy put in the longest leg of 8.5 miles. It was pretty much around the perimiter of the Indian reservation. I got ready and took off on my leg about 1:15am. Not the best time to run, but there were a lot of people to pass during that time. About the last 1/3 of my leg was on an asphalt trail, which was kind of weird because there were no lights. In fact, I had to cross a bay on a running/biking trail. Pretty strange, but enjoyable. This was a tough leg because of the distance. Total: 7.7 miles @ 6:16 pace.

The last leg was a real challenge because of a decent hill and because I was so tight. After the first mile, I had a hard time keeping my pace below 7:00. Blah.

Nice running. Let's get 12 people before we try it again!

Good to meet you and run on the same team, I liked our van. Even the writing on the side of it. Take care of your ankle.

Ha ha- even the writing on the side of the van. I'll have to put in the details of the writing on the van. Hopefully Sasha won't ban me from the blog.
