I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

AM- Full report will come later- I'm very busy with family stuff now in Idaho. But, I made the race thanks to Dale buying me a plane ticket (Dale is awesome), although only had 3 hrs of sleep the night before. I'll give details later, but finished 3rd. Fun, fun day. Been at the in-laws ever since.

The local Herald Journal did a great article on the race, including talking about Dale's generosity and how 4 of us broke the old CR, lead by Seth Wold.

Full race report and story of Dale is now posted, 5 months later.

Glad you made it. That was amazing about Dale and that is a great write-up. Enjoy your family time.

Great job Jon. I was bummed last week when I read your post that you were just going to have to skip it and run in the mountains back in SC. So glad you were able to get to Logan and run the race. That was a win in it's self. Have fun in Idaho.

Grats! Sounds like the lack of sleep didn't hurt too badly.

Now stop it already, this is getting embarrassing.

Awesome article! There will come a day when I'm off this road crap and running trail races..

Great article.

Glad you were able to make it here and run the race. Awesome run on a hectic travel day and little sleep.
