Personal:

Pine View High School class of 2008! (just graduated May 23). I became a runner my sophmore year when I started Cross Country and I have been running ever since. Ran XC and Track 3 straight years. I love road races and all that cool stuff.

I'm going to serve an LDS mission in Tallahassee Florida, August 13, speaking spanish.

August 2010- Just got back! Mission was great. I ran a little, maybe a total of 25 miles the whole 2 years. haha.

We'll see when I hit the streets again.

Race: Wasatch Back (177 Miles) 22:59:59, Place overall: 20, Place in age division: 1

Total Distance

6.90

Wasatch Back Leg 6 (first leg) 6.9miles

My first run was down Avon pass. It was a long run and a big down hill. I got going pretty fast, felt good, and passed one person (I could see only one other person far ahead of me). My team's truck couldn't get to me as much as we wanted because of another truck in the way so I only got water twice, but that was ok. Once I got to the bottom I had about 2 miles of flat road. That part was really hard and I had a hard time going fast. It felt like forever. Finally I turned the courner and the team spotter person told me I was close. Then I could see the end and ran to the exchange. I tried to slap the bracelet on RJ's arm but it didn't work and I ended up infront of him so I just handed it to him. This was a great run, lots of fun and a great view!!

51:05 total time 7:30/mi average (6.82 miles on my watch)

Awesome job at the WBR this weekend! You guys really stepped it up and did an awesome job - I only wish I could've been a part of your award-winning team! All that hill work paid off... we hope (esp. after Webb -yuk).

Very in-depth analysis! I was looking at your runs from Wasatch and saw some impressive things. Most notably, while others faded in their 2nd and 3rd legs, your pace was quite similar. The reason... MILES. Keep running and keep those miles up Jeff and you're going to keep continuing this huge improvement. And by the way - HAPPY BIRTHDAY this week!
