Camping with the fam. on Boulder Mountain. Ran a loop around the trails. 1500ft elevation gain @ 9k feet. Good stuff.

AM: 12 miles around Boulder again, this time on the roads. Pushed it a little up the hills to get the heart pounding, tried to maintain < 8 min pace on 5-10% grade. 

PM: 6 mile hike to lower calf creek falls. I'm counting it because I had a 35 pound pack (water + 2 year old).

Got back at 2am last night. Slept in. Easy solo miles on the murdock trail. Started at 10am, enjoyed plenty of sunshine and heat. Felt good.

GI issues caused an ad-hoc tempo run back to the house.

Carpooled with Matt and Ty. 2 mile warm up. Lots of great people at the starting line. It was a great atmosphere. 

I was feeling so-so. Stomach was a little upset and the legs felt off. My plan was to just run how I felt and not cross the red line too early.

Zac took it out fast and Jacob went with him. Matt hung back a bit, but not by much. Karl, Daniel and I made up the chase pack, although we lost sight of the lead pack pretty quickly.

I averaged 5:15s or so through 7. Felt ok but not great, just on the edge. Karl made a move here and Daniel went with him. I didn't go with them fearing I'd blow up too early, based on the rest of the race, I think I was right to hang back.

The next few miles were around 5:30 as we went through the rollers. I was still keeping it generally together but I could tell the last 5k was going to be rough.

The last 3 miles were 5:30, 5:20, 5:37. I was feeling it that last mile and didn't have anyone around me so I just cruised in. 

5 mile cooldown with a huge group. I enjoyed that cooldown more than the race! 

Matt ran an astounding race. Brandon, Reed and Ty all PR'd. It was a fun day with some great people.
