Great race today in Pinedale, Wyoming. Hilly and 7,400 feet. Happy with my performance. Miles 12 and 13 were my fastest miles at 6:39 and 6:42.
Free BBQ and Beer now.
PM: Took a pretty good nap and watched some football back at the Teton Court Hotel. After that I spent the afternoon walking around Pinedale. Went to the outfitter store and had a nice conversation with a 74 year old retired guy from Seattle who spends a month to 6 weeks here every year in September and early October. He fly fishes, hikes, camps, and climbs mountains. I was jealous. Then I realized that there's absolutely no reason why I couldn't do that in a few years. After that I went to the Wind River Brewing Company for dinner and then went for a 3 or 4 mile walk along the most scenic portion of today's half marathon course. It's light jacket weather and I had a stunning view of the Wind River Range - they already have snow on the peaks.
As the years go by, I'm enjoting these solo getaways and the solitude they bring. But today I really wished Ann had been able to come up with me because it was one of those days that would have been nice to share with her.
