Well, it was fun to getback at it and also to see many old friends and former Alta runners. Didn't wear a watch and ran conservatively the first half of the race. Had a ton of high school kids to pace and draft of of.

Got a pair of socks and a package of Costco hot dogs for winning my age group. Actually, the hot dogs were for second place and first place got a gift card to "Nothing Bundt Cakes". I asked for the 2nd place prize and they coplied!

Did I mention it was great to race? Racing is the best part of running!

Nice, Rob. Like I said on Twitter, you have, at least, another 10 seconds in you.:)

Well done, Rob. I miss racing. It's the reward (one of them) for training.

Good run. Still kicking around.

That's a good way to put it Sasha!
