Great day in Ogden Valley.  Ran the race with my two bros and watched the other two bros run the marathon.  Had a great race.  Felt good overall.  Pushed as well as I could, but couldnt beat last year's PR.  Garmin died as soon as I turned it on this am, so no splits to report, but was nice to run unencumbered.  Water tasted like pee for some reason this year, I guess Pine View needed some extra water out before spring run off.  I also like to be passed by all the people 20 years older than me.  Especially the ones that are running with some impossibly deformed gait.  It is awesome.  Be back next year.  Maybe even the marathon if I can get enough duct tape to keep them on.

Nice race! You would so leave me in the dust of your racing shoes.
