My wife said she needed to run to the store. She drove... I ran and met her there. People gave us funny looks. She was nicely dressed and I was in full winter running attire, including tights, ear muffs and hydration belt. Perry Canyon to Sardine Canyon to Highway 89 through Brigham City to Kent's Market. Running on the uneven concrete sidewalks in BC is good training for the slickrock in Moab, hard and uneven.

| My daughter is visiting again with 'the boyfriend'. He was pretty groggy when we left this morning. Home to Perry Canyon, up the Grizzly Peak single track, up the north side switchbacks to the upper bench over to the 'I' on the mountain. Turn around and reverse the route home. Within 10 minutes of getting home he was asleep. These young guys, they look good coming out of the gate, but not much for long term stamina. Actually, he did quite well, just needs to learn how to pace himself and shorten his stride and increase turnover down the steep stuff. |

| 5 miles running the canal road with my wife. Perfect running weather, wind at the back going out (downhill) wind in the face coming back (uphill). Fun times, good workout. |

Great day and I had a great time running... right up to mile 22.
This is a beautiful course. I enjoyed the pre-race time talking to Cody Draper and a few other friends. I met Aaron Kennard and instantly coveted his long legs. I then took my place at the back. The initial climb got my heart pumping and I was following my plan and feeling good. I ran the 33k in 2009, so the 55k loop was new to me. I kept thinking 'This is great.' I was really having fun.
Mile 18 had a cut-off time of 12:30 PM and I knew it would be close for me. I passed through Aid Station #3, just pausing to fill my bottle. At the cut-off, my Garmin read 4:33, but nobody was there and we were told in the pre-race that if we missed the cut-off time, someone would tell you to head back to the starting line. I just figured that we had started a few minutes early so I kept going. I hit the Gold Bar Trail and followed the slickrock markings up to Aid Station #4. I remembered this section and was again enjoying the race. I knew there were a few more challenging miles beyond AS#4, but I figured I had 4 hours left. No problem.
Another runner just got to the aid station before me and we were told by the volunteers that the sweepers were already through and they were closing and had just poured out all their water. If we continued, we would have no markings or anything to drink (they did have 3 cans of Coke). I knew how tough the rest of the trail was to follow even with the course flags.
This caused absolute frustration. As a back-of-the-pack runner, finishing is very important to me. To have to stop with only 12 miles to go and four hours to do it in made me a bit mad. I really felt good and wanted to finish. I knew it was not the volunteers fault and they were quite empathetic. After voicing my disappointment, I thanked them for helping at the race. Then I had the most gut-wrenching, bone-jarring and thrilling ride with one of the volunteers (Jeff) back down the slickrock.
I drove my car to the finishline and expressed my frustration to the race director. He said the person at the cut-off must have left the area to call him. They had been experiencing communication problems all day. He offered me a free entry into next years race, so that was a bit of consolation.
I love this course and really enjoyed my own personal Red Hot 35k.
