Personal:

Married to Elizabeth (she got me running in 2003). We have three boys, Lucas (12) , Sam (8) and Ollie (5).

Many years ago, I read that the AVERAGE male is capable of a 2:40 marathon.  I decided to test that theory.  I began running in 2003 with Top of Utah as my first marathon (4:24).  I need 3 more minutes.

5.1 Miles: First leg of the Wasatch Back Relay in the heat.  We had a 3 PM start.  My goal is to run 10K pace for all three legs of the race.

8.5 Miles: Second leg of the race at 10:30 PM.  One mile up steep uphill of Snowbasin, then screaming down hill for the remaining 7.5 miles.  Stayed on 10 K pace.

Last leg of WBR.  Started this leg at 7:48 AM.  Felt good first 2 miles then started to crash.  Still finished a little over 10K pace.  

The team finished 14th overall, so good showing.   We were 20 minutes over our sub-24 hour goal...maybe next year.  I enjoyed the 3 PM start because you got to pass a lot of teams.  I ran past 63 runners and luckily BYU did not pass me at night!
