Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 28, 20, 14 and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue.  Love to run and be outside.  I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible.   Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

This was a brutal race cause of the wind.  As I was driving up to the Salt Air the weather was perfect in Orem and even in SL area, sunny and warm and no wind.  But as I got on I80 I could see the dust cloud and feel the wind driving in my car, I knew this was going to be a bad one.  Got there and stepped out of my car and yes the wind was brutal, knock you over brutal.  Went in and got my number and found Emily and Devera and warmup up with them for 4 miles, the wind was gusty and swirling, worse on the way back.  got back and went to the bathroom and started the race.  When we started the wind didn't seem quite as bad as when we had warmed and I felt good.  The plan was to be conservative on the way out and push it the way back.  So in the 6:50 range out and 6:40's coming back, well the wind was in our faces coming back so it was all I could do not to fall over.  But I did feel like I was really holding back on the way out.  Man stupid wind, I really wanted to see how I could do.

1-6:56

2-6:57

3-6:55

4-6:57

5-7:08 turn around at 4.65 and it was like running into a wall

6-7:37

7-8:02 this mile is always the hardest for me and I think the wind was the worst.

8-7:16 wind starts to let up a little

9-7:13

.33-2:27 

I guess I have to be okay with this because I can't control 40+ mph winds and everyone slowed down 30-60 sec. a mile.  It is what it is.

cooled down 2 along the course and helped in a kid that I pretty sure had a bad hang over, I could smell the alcohol coming from his pores.  Then I ran some with Jake, Andrea, and Fritz.

Great work, and way to come back after that hard 7th mile.

Now you really can say you are prepared for ANY kind of weather in Boston. Even wind!

Oh I sure hope we don't have wind like we had today!

From Jake K on Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 15:21:46 from 67.177.21.60

I hope we have the EXACT same wind @ Boston - a 30mph west wind would be PERFECT! :-)

Nice meeting you today and running a few miles with you! Good race - you'll be hitting that same pace for 26.2 @ Boston!

Yes if it was at our backs that would be great. but I wouldn't be so lucky.

GREAT race, Josse! WAY to battle that nasty wind!

From JulieC on Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 19:53:57 from 168.103.185.248

I am very impressed Josse-- those are WAY cool splits in headwinds like that!! seriously wonderful for you!!! :D

From Walter on Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 20:15:46 from 24.2.69.110

We are lucky the wind subsided. If we wouldve started at 9 we wouldve been blown on i-80. Nice to see you again! Keep up the great work!
