The Sugar House Relay Carnival is the best event of the summer, everyone who wasn't there missed out on a good time! Allie and James did a wonderful job setting this up again... hopefully next year the turnout will be bigger.

I ran 15:59 for the 5000m and then 4:54 for my 1600m leg of the DMR. My goal as the anchor leg was to not let our team GARMIN BELIEVERS get lapped by the BYU team. I had to kick (for 50m) with 450m left as we almost got lapped, but I held off their anchor leg, dropping the baton in the process! Ah what a blunder... it was pretty funny though. Only cost me a few seconds. Our total time for the DMR was 12:15 so its not like we were qualifying for NCAAs anyway :-)

Good workout - I wanted to get in one session between Duluth and the July 4th 5K so today fit the bill perfectly. And we had a awesome group cooldown that included Andrea! Yay!

Team Garmin Believers (Rob, Me, Fritz, and Kevin (60.2!!! ahh so close))

I dropped the baton like 3 seconds after this...

The pic of the DMR start is my favorite...yes, Amiee, you are running a track race :)

Great pictures!

I still miss the dresses from last year.

Teren has flag shorts like that! Maybe next year we will run, and that can be the official team uniform. Actually, we might have enough USA gear to outfit everyone there. (As long as someone doesn't mind sporting a spandex sprint suit!) Looks like tons more fun than getting beat by a high school boy today!

Looks like a very fun event!

You two have the REAL Team USA kits... not the "fake / barely legal in Utah" version like I do :-)

You should come next time... the kids will love it too. We might try to organize something low-key in the fall this year as well.

I wore my probably not legal anywhere but Southern Utah (because that is what Clyde likes!) flag shorts on today as well... So maybe next year I'll plan coming to visit the in-laws over this weekend.

Well, as can clearly be seen in the pictures there is someone who doesn't mind a speedsuit.

From Carina on Sat, Jun 29, 2013 at 18:29:21 from 204.15.86.83

Very patriotic shorts!! Looks like a fun time!

From Matt Poulsen on Sat, Jun 29, 2013 at 18:41:38 from 38.100.125.2

Now that looks like a fun time, Jake! Wish I could have joined you. Smart recovery week, Jake.

Sad I missed it. I would have loved to run a hard 800. next time...

well done!

i'm loving that this race is dominating the race report page.

thanks for participating in this, and thank for the FRB and FB plugs over the last several weeks. the baton drop was excellent.
