Crazy day for me! I had to go out to Saltair, run the race, cool down, and leave. Then I had to drive to Logan, pick up a moving truck, and move my stuff until 1:00am. In between all of that the 26 foot truck I rented slid off the road and down an embankment. We were stuck for over three hours. It was a miracle that we got the truck out without it tipping over. I have never been so stressed out in my life! That is an whole other story. The race wasn't too bad, although I wasn't into it at all because of everything going on that day. I warmed up on the course before and ran with Adam for part of that. My plan was to run a tempo run and not be too tired for my big move later on. I stuck to my plan and ran how I wanted to. That course was flat and easy, and the only thing to watch out for was some snow and ice on the way back. It was an out and back course, and the side of the road that we ran out on was mostly clear, but the side coming back was not. The rest of the team was way ahead of me and did quite well. Steve Ashbaker and I went on a cool down and ran into Sasha, Ted, and Adam, so we all cooled down together. After the cool down I grabbed a drink and some bread and took off. The race was the only part of my day that wasn't stressful. I think my time was 17:45 and I have no clue what place I was. There was a good field of runners there today.
