The expectation of peace and safety on public land outweighs dog owners' rights. You don't have to have a dog, but you do have the right to free travel. The bigger responsibility falls on the dog owner.

so, decided I'd run the xTERRA 21k this morning. Super race! Tough, but THE perfect day/morning for it. I knew going in I'd like to maintain an 80% ish effort during the run with St. George 26.2 next week. So, Yukon dropped Chad and I off about 15 minutes before the race started at the Port ramp on Pineview (love local races). Good crowd good energy - ready to roll. Since I wasn't trying to kill it I decided to run with my nathan pack..Next year will probably drop the pack and run with a hand held if anything... Anywho - They fire this huge cannon and we were off - The first 1.5 miles are on the highway getting us to Wheelers canyon - Just tried to find a good groove up to East fork - a little before hitting east fork/greenpond I ran into a guy who was cursing and sputtering - with no real goal other than to have a sweet time - I told him to stick on me and I ended up pulling him the rest of the way - it was pretty cool to help him get to the finish!! He cursed and asked about miles the rest of the way - pretty funny really. Good times - definitely will do this NEXT year!

Splits: 8:11, 7:47, 10:25, 10:49, 11:01, 9:56, 12:04, 8:14, 10:25, 12:04, 11:02, 9:05 last bit...
