| Happy New Year!! 2008!! Early morning Tm run. I thought about outside but hovering right around 0 degrees I decided against it. It was a good run to start the new year. With incline I ended up averaging around 7:25 / mile. |

| Hit Gold's on the way home from work tonight. Got 5 good miles in. 7:30, 7:24, 7:19, 6:58, 6:40. Again the steam room after was probably the best part of the workout. No.. the run felt good. Legs were a little tight from pilates on Sat. Looking forward to some good ocean air later this week. | |

Another nice run through Kihei. Jamie and I decided to run a few miles together this morning. Awesome. At about the half way mark we passed Chad. He went out a little earlier.

Aloha..
Another great morning run in Maui. Took off early and at the turn ran into Chad. So he lead me down to the beach for a couple miles on the sand.

Well.... back to reality. 4 miles on the Tm this morning. ..I woke up to 12-14 inches of new snow and nowhere to run. No beaches. No palm tree lined paths.. just a cold basement. I decided to take the 1st mile easy 8:00 the 2nd at 7:41 3rd 7:09 4th 6:47.. They felt good. The legs and core were a little tight from pilates last night. | |

| Another early morning. Struggled to get out of bed. I need to go to sleep earlier! Talked myself into running a 5K but ended up running 4, so I was happy. 7:41, 7:30 7:11, 6:40. Moab is creeping up on us. I heard another big storm is on its way too. |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 1.11 | 3.00 | 4.11 |
| Holy Snowfest! Another monster snow storm this morning. We had at least 15 inches af new white powder. Got a quick 4 miles in and then spent an hour plus moving snow around. They say another bigger storm is rolling in tomorrow night into sunday. Yahoo. I think I'm feeling a ski day coming on. Hard to imagine Moab is in just over a month. | |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 1.10 | 3.25 | 4.35 |
| Hit the Tm this afternoon. I got called into work this morning for a little while, so I couldn't run until later. It was a good run. The last 1.25 was at about 6:30 pace, I might have kept pushing it except for the kids where about ready to jump on me. Get your snow shovels ready... | |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 1.10 | 3.05 | 4.15 |
| Woke up this morning to only a couple of inches of snow. So I was able to clean the drive out and still hit the Tm for 4 miles before heading into work. We got over 28-30 inches of SNOW yesterday. Un-freaking-believable. I should be skiing right now. |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 1.10 | 3.05 | 4.15 |
| Another early morning Tm run. Stepped up the pace for the last three miles. We actually had a day without snow. It was different. Although another storm is ment to hit tomorrow, so Thursday might be the day. |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 2.15 | 3.00 | 5.15 |
| Hit Golds on the way home tonight. Got a good 5 miler in. Ran the 1st 2 miles in 7:30 and then gradually worked up to 6:30 pace. It was good to see my max hr for the run was 180. Running below 7:30 is getting a little less stressful. Moab is in a month... ready or not. |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 2.10 | 2.00 | 4.10 |
| Early morning Tm run. I was very tired so I started off with an easy two. They pushed the pace for the last two. | |

Early morning Tm run. Woke up with a semi cold, but jumped on the run to see if I could break it down. Had to take a PB at the 3.57 mark, so I'm going to try and get back on for a few more miles tonight.
Actually jumped on the Tm for another run tonight 4.05 miles. Thought it would be good to mix it up and get two runs in. With Moab and Ragnar approaching....

Early Morning Tm! All these runs have been at a 1% incline I should probably adjust that up more. But running on the Tm is hard enough. This good weather has gotten me excited to run outside...
Evening pilates class. Aughhh. |

| Another early morning Tm run. Hit the first 2 miles in 7:30, 3rd in 7:10 and 4th in 6:45. Was alittle tight from pilates last night and I have been battling a cold for a few days. It's always more painful when you can't breath right. | |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 1.10 | 3.05 | 4.15 |
| Well - I still am feeling a little under the weather, but was able to get up and get my usual 4 in. It's worrying me a little knowing Moab is lurking and I haven't had to many long runs. I'm going to try and get outside for one on Saturday if the weather cooperates. This mornings stats: incline 1% mile 1 7:30 2, 7:24 3, 7:10 4, 6:45.... my heart rate was pounding pretty good on that last mile. |

Hit Golds on the way home from work. Decided to take the first 3 miles at an easy 7:30 pace. Mile 4 7:10 Mile 5 6:48. I hoping to get a good outside run in tomorrow. Moab is in 3 weeks!
Played back to back church ball games last night. My back is hurting this morning....If it warms up I'll look to get off the Tm and get a run in outside. |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 1.28 | 2.25 | 3.53 |
| Tried to go for a run outside - I made it as far as the mailbox and came back inside - way to cold. Hit the tm for a quick run. Then took the two oldest kids skiing up to Wolf Mountain. It was great. |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 11.15 | 0.00 | 11.15 |
| Finally! A sweet run outside. A beautiful winter's morning. Cold and freezing, but the sun was shining, the only bad thing is my nose is still unthawing. Drip drip. I got in just over 11 with an average pace of 7:54. A great way to start the week. It was nice to get a longer run in with Moab just a few weeks away. | |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 1.35 | 2.80 | 4.15 |
| Back on the Tm this morning for my usual 4 miles. I'll try and get another good run in this Sat. The miles today felt ok. The 1.35 miles were at 7:30 and avg close to 7 for the remainder. 1% incline. | |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 4.12 | 3.00 | 7.12 |
| Hit Golds on the way home for a good Tm run. I was able to get in 7.12. I was inspired by Chad's 6.25 it powered me through. The first 4 miles were at a 7:30, mile 5 7:19, mile 6 7:09, and mile 7 6:40ish. It felt good. My avg Hr was 168. Went and sat in the sauna after... | |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 2.10 | 2.05 | 4.15 |
| Was debating this morning if I was going to hit the Tm this morning or hit the gym on the way home. I decided to get up and get in 4+. First two 7:30 3. 7:13 4. 6:45. Might hit some more tonight if the scheduling allows. EARTHQUAKE!!! That was crazy! Sitting here at work and my chair starts rocking...I haven't felt an Earthquake since I was in California about 10 yrs ago. EARTHQUAKE! |

| Well - I hit Gold's on the way home to get some miles in. I got in about the same run as Wednesday. 7:30 for the first 4 miles and the 5. 7:19 6. 7:09 7: 6:40ish all with an incline of 1% except mile 7. My avg heart rate was 156 I reported wednesday that it was 168, but I think it was 158. My lower back still is a little sore from all the snow shoveling a few weeks back other than that these miles are feeling great! 8 miles Chad! | |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 5.10 | 2.25 | 7.35 |
| Thought about running outside, but after Jamie left for a run I decided to hit the Tm, because my scheduling today is a little wacky. I decided to try and make Chad work for it... So I decided to hit 40+ for the week. my first 3 miles were at a 7:41 next 2 miles at 7:30 mile 6 at 7:19 mile 7+ at 6:40ish finished at 6:31 pace. Hard to image hitting a 40+ week that is good for me. Now I need to keep it up through out the year! Thanks for the push Boothman!! | |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 3.10 | 1.25 | 4.35 |
| Well I decided to rest my back yesterday - it's still giving me some hassle. I probably should have rested it today again, but I needed to run. Hit the Tm for 2 miles at 7:35 1 at 7:30 1.25 at 6:40. They felt good. Hoping the weather gets warmer so I can get some miles in outside this week. | |
| Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 8.15 | 3.75 | 11.90 |

After resting my back again yesterday I woke up and felt pretty good. So, I hit the Tm for an early morning run. It's still a bit chilly and snowey for a predawn run. First 2 miles 7:41 next 2 at 7:30 mile 5 7:13 mile 6.25 at 6:40.Incline 1.0. If the back stays loose I will try and get a run in after work....Moab next week!

Hit the Tm for an early morning run. Wanted to keep the pace up a little bit so, 1- 7:30, 2-7:19, 3- 7:09 4.25- 6:30ish (Hit the last quarter at 6:09). My back is still a little tight so I'm going to take this week a little easier with Moab on Sat. The FRBer's DEL SOL team - amazing. |

Well - yesterday wasn't a great day. On my way home from work I got a call from my wife who said she had just been in an accident. Luckily she and our daughter are ok. But the driver that hit them is claiming no insurance and license! So we are pretty much out o' luck. The subaru is totaled.
So I needed a little run this morning. 5.35 ...moab t-minus 4 days. | |

Moab Race Report....
Woke up feeling pretty good, had a light breakfast and started getting ready for the run. Fritz and Christian came over and we all drove over to the start together. (Me, Jamie, Sherene, Fritz, Christian, Hunter, Kristin, Logan (yes THE Logan), and Katey) We got to the school and loaded the buses. Once at the top, they drop you about a half mile below the starting line, so you have to drop your sweats and walk up to the start. About 10 minutes before the race started Logan talked me into walking to the front of the pack with him. I dropped in about 20' back at the 7:00 minute pace group. It was nice to start without a whole lot of congestion around. It was windy and cold for the first mile or two, after that it felt great. I probably could have ditched the long sleeve shirt I was wearing. (Oh well)... Here's the per mile breakdown of my race:
6:56, 7:07, 7:18, 7:33, 7:25, 7:18, 7:32, 7:29, 7:31, 7:42, 7:38, 7:28, 7:17,
I forgot to stop my watch after finishing, so I'm not sure of my .10 split time. Logan came back and ran me in. ( I should point out this was a PR for me by about 4 minutes. First time sub 1:40 )
It was a great race! Hopefully we all get in next year.... | |

| Well... back to reality. Still 3 feet of snow on my yard. Looking to get a good easy run in to keep the quads loose from Sat. I'm surprised at how good I feel from the race. A little tight in the legs, but nothing to serious. Hit golds on the way home from work. First 3 miles at 7:41 with 1.0 incline. Mile 4 7:19 Mile 5.25 at about 7:00... Could have keep going, but decided to keep it reasonable. |

| Wow... Remind me not to take a few weeks off from pilates. I was the only one in the class tonight and Rach made sure I used every minute. Aughh. Great Leg and Ab burn. She got a new maching Power Plate... muscle failure... Took the day off of running looking to get some good runs in the rest of the week. Peace out. |

| Good early morning run. I was ment to meet Chad and the Swamp's at 7:00, but the snow and lack of sleep persuaded me to actually go back to bed. So, finally got moving and headed out. hit 8 miles outside with an average pace of 7:34 (even with a car stopping me on mile 6 asking me about the ogden marathon route people are starting to scope it out) Once I got back I realized I needed 9 to hit 30 for the week so I hit the Tm for a 7:00 mile. Felt good. |

Wow...Good run for me this morning. Most of our Wasatch Back team met this morning for a 15 mile run around Pineview. 7:30 am and it was cold. Where's spring? Started with a .4 jog to meeting place at the General Store with Chad. Met up with BG and started our journey. We talked about averaging between 8:00 and 8:30 per mile. I ended up averaging 7:48's with a max mile of 8:33 (mile 1) and a min mile of 7:26 (mile 15). I thought that was kinda funny. I felt pretty good through the loop. Farthest I've actually ever run at once. So, I'm proud! Better watch out for the Swamp Donkey's! Chad and BG and Brady rocked it. The strawberries BG had at mile 6ish were great. I'm anxious to see how the legs feel tomorrow. I feel pretty good at this moment in time.... Also it's worth noting Chad and BG owe me one.
time 1:56.... no miles on Crocs. | |

Most of our Wasatch team and Jeff met and went up to the start of the Ogden Marathon to run 13-18 miles depending on how we were feeling. I'll describe the run. Painful. Most of the run was into a pretty good head wind with hail blowing into our faces. I hope the weather is better next week for the striders half (for those of you running it). I was pretty happy with my run considering I never got into a groove and the weather wasn't co-operating. Chad and BG smoked it. Fisher and Shane had to take off around mile 9/10.

15- 8:30 (weather getting worse and Jeff and I are heading it back home. Made it up the hill)
16- 8:30 heading it home. wanted to hit 16 for the run - weather getting worse still. felt like I was being pushed sideways most of the miles..

| Awesome. Awesome. Was about to hit the Tm at the gym when HairDog called and said take him for a run on the bench. So we went up from 40th up to the bench trails and ran down to the trail head at 29th then took the intermediate trail up to strong canyon (I think) cut down past the towers and looped around WSU football stadium back to 40th. I'm guessing at the milage, but based on time and speed it was probably between 4 and 5 miles. Felt great to be outside... |

Early Sat run.... finally had a great morning to run! The first few miles were a little chilly on the face and hands, but once the sun hit us it was great. Chad, BG, and I went up past the start of the Ogden Marathon course a few miles to hit our 16. Here's the breakdown:

Chad and I took off at 6:00 to run around Pineview Res. It was a refreshing 37 degrees out! Still needed gloves though. We wanted to slow it down a bit from our other long runs.

Hit the East bench in Ogden after work. Met up with 2 of my bro's and did 8.36. It was a little farther than I wanted to go, but it was great. We started at the 40th trail head and ran down to the Ogden pipe line coming across the canyon. Then we took the upper trail up into taylor canyon and looped up and over to Buess and back down to the trail we started from. Great workout. Nice pace. | |

Awesome! Crazy to think I just ran my 1st marathon. The legs are definitely fatigued today, but I feel pretty good. Here's the breakdown.
Was awoken at 4:20 am with a major cramp in my left calf muscle it didn't relax for a few minutes, so I was in some serious pain. I was thinking you have got to be kidding. Once it relaxed I went and rolled it out on the foam roller and took a couple advil. Calf still hurt, but wasn't going to stop me from going for it. Jamie and I caught a ride up to the start with Chad, BG, Jeff and Shane. Got to the start about 30 minutes before game time. The sun was already up so, I knew this was going to be a HOT one. Once the gun went off I knew Chad was feeling it. So much for our game plan. He smoked it and turned in the HOT performace of the day. So, I felt great at the go, so I probably went out to fast because by the end of the canyon I was starting to feel it. Into the parkway I knew I was starting to fatigue out. The sun was draining me and I started walking at the last two aid stations for about 30 yards. So with the sun, leg crap with bothered me the entire run, and I measured the course a little long, I was really happy with my result! Here are my splits:

I came into the finish a little light headed. Booth was there luckily or I probably would have hit the turf. Looking back on the race I should have slowed the first 8 miles down a touch. It was definitely a great experience and hopefully one I will grow from.
Peace OUT!

Booth and I decided to run up the Wolf Creek hill and out to the end of the trappers ridge development. Good ups. The first 3.5 miles pretty much climbing. One the way back on the way to river road - got trapped by two black labs and a german shephard, rotwiler, and some other un-named dog - sketchy there for a few minutes, but the home owner finally came out. Just a classic case of a Home Owner that doesn't have a clue how stupid their dog is.
Great run though. - Time 1:09:55 Avg 8:44's Dist. 8.0

Last Night - didn't make it out for a run, but went to an intense pilates class. Some serious core and leg routines. Rachel (the instructor) has gone mental. 1 hr. non stop.
Hit the Tm for an early morning run. Wanted to get out, but Jamie left so, I was regulated to the home front. Decided to try and up the pace today. First mile 7:30, next 7:24, 7:19 (1.0 incline), 7:13. 7:08, 6:58, with the last .25 at 6:53 pace. Felt good to run it out a bit. Looking to get some more good runs in this week. | |

PM Semi-great East bench run with Chad and his bro Ben. 7.68 miles. Broke in the new montrails - they were great. A little tight to start, but after a few miles felt pretty good. Had a major PB up the buess trail. No more chicken sandwhichs on run days! Good ups.

Awesome Sat morning run! Perfect temps perfect conditions. Headed out wanting to hit the North Arm but decided to add on the Shane loop and vause corner before heading down there. The North Arm is in perfect cond. Heard some sort of beast bellowing down in the marsh - wasn't going to go find it, but beautiful with Pineview and trees - ran out to the yacht club and back down the trail. - Hopefully will maintain some good mileage heading into Wasatch Back!

Late night run with Swamp Donkey team and friends. Great late night trail run. BG ran the first 3.5 miles in pure Swamp Donkey form. We headed out from the General Store at 10:35 pm headed out the North Arm and took the extension trail past the port ramp to the Spill way and back. A little scarey running the trail with the head lamp, but the temps and company were perfect.

Unbelievable trail run! Went with two of my bro's Fritz and Tony up to Snowbasin to spec out the 10k next weekend. We started at Earls lodge and took it up to the entry to the green pond loop trail. That trail took us close to the strawberry lodge - we then cut up to the base of the last chance trail and ran it back. About 3 miles in it started hailing on us pretty good. June 7th in a snow storm. It was awesome. The trail is great - will definitely be running it again this year. Plenty of ups and streams to cross - sweet. |

Ran into Chad so, we ran around the island loop (good thing he was there or I probably would've headed home) - Got home at 9.20 on distance so, hit the Tm for a mile to make 10+.

| What an awesome day for a race! Perfect weather if anything to hot. The 3rd annual flying moose at snowbasin was great. We started at the base of Little Cat by Earls lodge and ran up and up and up to the upper green pond trail head. Took the trail over to the service road by strawberry lodge and took the lower green pond trail back to earls lodge. The first 1.4 was basically climbing up the ski run. It was tough! Was able to relax and catch my breath at the top and then I just said this is the flying moose - go for it. With about a mile to go I past a kid that I thought would smoke me, so that gave me some added energy hit 4:27 pace on the last downhill section. I was almost out a control. It was tough, but fun. | |

What an unvelieveable great time. We had a little confusion with the Donkey's leading up to the big race, one of our runners got sick and was unable to run, so John Lewis became an honorary Swamp Donkey.
Chad, Shane, Nick Fischer and I went up to the start and were ready for our 3:00 start time. As we were driving up there the clouds came in and the temps cooled a little bit, but no such luck as 3:00 got closer the sun was in full force. Chad Booth gives a great description of our Ultra battle with team #202. When Fischer handed off to me - I had 10.7 miles staring at me and this other ultra team just a few minutes behind I knew I had to keep them at bay and build the lead if I could. Over the whole run I ended up avg 7:53's wich was great considering the sun and hills I was hitting more like 7:40 pace until the section leading up to Avon - it's a good steady climb - I was able to pull away from #202 on this section. I handed off to shane and was ready for a tall cold drink.
Night RUN. Dist. 8.0
Shane and I jumped in the middle fork river to ice the legs down right after John Lewis took off like a rocket. Chad was able to hold crow-magna off he had a great run. Those rollers from liberty to middle fork are tough he crushed them.
I got the baton around 10:45ish and I was off. I hit the first mile in 7:19 and was feeling awesome... and then wammo got hit with a huge side stich and side cramp. I couldn't even stand up straight... I was like augh... so, I walked/stretched it out for a few steps and started to really focus on my breathing. as a result my next 2 miles fell to around 8:10 per mile. By the 4th mile I was feeling a little better or was just dealing with the pain. I was able to hold about a 7:40 pace the rest of the run. I was happy to see Shane at the exchange point.
I'll write Saturdays run up on Saturdays page...

Wasatch Back cont. See Fridays entry to start at the beginning. One of the many tough things about running this race as a ultra team is you have to run back to back legs 3 times. So, you have to run through the mid exchange points and hear them say he's one of those crazy people running the ultra distances. Which does pump you up in a strange kind of way.
I got my last run going about 7:30am. It was another 10+ miler. I had the 5 miles leading out of Kamas and the next 5 miles with the big 'ol climb up and around Jordanelle. What a way to finish. After side cramping on last nights run - my stomach was still hurting. I was preping Shane with you might have to save me so get ready. I needed to take the first few miles out reasonable paced 7:54 avg. to see how I would react. It was alittle tight, but felt ok next two miles under 7:30 pace - then the hill five miles into a good run too. What's up with that. I was able to put my head down and avg around 8:30's! My team maining Chad would be there to throw water and ice on me and keep me cooled down... The Donkey's were awesome. So for the run I was able to hit just above 8's for my avg. I was happy. With about 4 miles of up and up and up.
We ended up taking 2nd in the Ultra division. Team #202 that we battled with the whole way finished 3rd. 29 minutes behind us. (Ranking as of about 6:00 pm last night so, I think they're pretty official...

Sweet Fourth of July 10k. Got to the race early put got busy talking to people instead of warming up like I would have liked to. Oh well. It was good to see some people I haven't seen for awhile. Before I knew it the race was being called to order and the gun went off.
Mile 1 7:13 I found myself about 10 people back within the first quarter mile I started talking to John Lewis about next years WBR. After the first mile I told him it was go time. He was running it with his 10 yr old boy.
Mile 2 7:11 - this is an up around the dam onto the gravel pit road. I was happy with the time - the legs were feeling good. Started passing people.
Mile 3 7:16 Still feeling good was running with 2 guys on the gravel road, make it passed them by the end of the gravel back onto highway. 3 people in front of me here. 2 girls and 1 guy. The leader was some girl that was booking - out of sight (she ended up winning the race overall).
Mile 4 7:23 Not sure what happened hit to my pace - I ran most of the mile with one of the girls that was ahead of me passed her towards the end of the mile.No sight of the guy and girl a head of me.
Mile 5 6:41 Feeling absolutely great. Legs were rolling and I catch sight of the guy ahead of me no sign of the girl. Guy was about 3/4 mile ahead.
Mile 6 6:43 Still feeling great. running alone at this point. Would have been good to have the Booth man there to push.

Great North Arm run! I think I lowered the time, I'll have to check Booth's initial run time. No Booth this morning, but I decided it was to good of a morning to pass up, so I went for it. Made it out to the Rocks in 19:30, So I keep pushing it. On the way back got a side stitch by the bridge - carried that with me the rest of the way back. No stoppage time though - true 1:02:50. I think breaking an hour is possible will take 7:20's or below to do it. Great goal to chase.

Great evening trail run up Wheelers Canyon with Booth and Shane. We went up Ice Box canyon and then added on Taylors loop out to the Green Pond Trail head and then back down the upper wheelers creek trail. The first 4 miles are basically up and up and up. Then you hit some downs with some rollers. The last 2 miles are a pretty quick down. Booth our best pace on that last mile was 5:27 - not to shabby considering the trail. Great way to end the week. Hope next week is as good.

Head out towards the spillway when you hit the 40mph sign it's just over 4 miles via the hwy. Turn it around and take the entire North Arm trail back. Need to addon a little past the driveway to hit the 9. Here are the splits: 7:57, 8:12 (hill on the Ogden Mara), 7:55, 7:51, 8:01, 8:13 ( not sure), 8:30 (really not sure), 8:09, 7:43...

Wow!!! Decided to hit Wheelers after work, so I headed up there around 5:30 it was a good tough climb for me today. Work took us to Iggys for lunch so, a Fish-n-Chips and a few drinks later I was thinking why didn't I get a salad.
On the way down the main trail I had a prompting to run down the middle of the trail because something was lurking on the trail ahead. I thought ok. I've tried to follow those promptings when they come... and good thing about a mile down the trail there was a monster rattlesnake on the right side of the trail! It made me jump about 15 ft in the air! It was shaking it's rattle like crazy. Who knows what would've happed, but I'm greatful for the prompting!

Great after the storm run with Bro HairDog. We did the Shane Stake Center Island Loop. We pretty much talked the first few miles and then tried picking it up.

Grat early morning run with the Boothman. We decided to do the Garden of Eden race in reverse. It would have been fun getting in the race, but it snuck up on us to fast. Here are the splits 8:35, 8:10, 8:02, 8:02, 8:12, 7:29, 8:27 (spring mtn climb), 6:24, 6:55, 7:09, last .26 at 5:27 pace. Legs felt heavy the first 4-5 miles Pretty much slight uphill those miles. Little break before Spring Mtn. Then a crusier back. Surprised at how good I felt. That's a good sign I guess. When we hit the down Booth turned on the rockets - Had to push it to keep him in my sights.

A great run this evening. Headed out along the North Arm trail. It was a little muddy from this afternoons rain storm, but great as ever. Need to make my way to the Stk Center for my daughters soccer game so, I hit the newly emerged old Hwy that cuts across Pineview when the dam gets low enough. My right leg and foot seem a little tight - never felt in the groove.

Sweet, but hot afternoon striders 7! Was hoping for some cloud cover, but not in the cards today. I heard there was around 150 runners. 3:00 pm start time. They bused us up to the top of 29th street and the gun went off. Tried to start off somewhat up front, so I wouldn't get trapped on the single track. First mile was about 8:30 up hill - forgot how much up!! 2nd mile hit a 6:48 way to fast especially because it's rolling and I hadn't hit the down yet and I was starting to feel the heat. 3rd and 4th miles were right around 7:05+-. 5th mile 7:30 started to over heat on the pathway. Only 1 water station. 6th mile 7:44 and starting to fade glad the finish line was in sight. Not sure on the .85 forgot to stop my watch. Tried picking it up though no one passed me on Grant! - A little over heated, but a great race.
They had me AVG 7:17's - I'm happy with that considering the conditions and taking 1st in the 30-39 group! PS. lots of good swag... | |

| Awesome Trail race run this morning. We were thinking there was only 50 or so runnings, but when we got there we saw quite a few people were registering. So, there ended up being 212 runners in the 11k. I felt pretty happy taking 37th overall. and 7th out of 26 in my age group. The course is crazy. You start at the Maui Prince and go up and up through fields for just over 3 miles. It felt pretty good, but 3 miles up is 3 miles up. Once you hit the turn at the top you start a pretty good downhill, but the trail is ladened with lava rock so you have to watch your footing pretty good. When you hit the bottom they have you run the entire Big Beach.. augh...I started feeling it pretty good here. Lots of sand and no good footing. From Big beach you take a trail through "spooky forest" and then back to more beach/lava rock until you hit the trail to the finish back at the prince.... They have a sweet finish area. We ran into Chris Leigh again - He's a world class studman. It's been cool to talk to him a few times over the last few days. The Championship tri is tomorrow....Aloha. | |

REVERSE...Anthony and I did the same run as yesterday, but in reverse. Strangly enough it took us about 15 seconds longer. Around 50:46 I think. Good run. doing the trails in this direction spreads the big climb over a longer period. so I don't know which way I prefer. Nice run - though! |

Ran the trail back down and headed home. Total Ascent 1,763 Total Descent 2,116. The views were awesome. Good run bro. Avg pace wasn't crazy, but we pushed pretty good up Wagon Wheel. |
