Rhett

Congratulations to Chase and the whole family! He will be an awesome missionary! I still can't believe he's old enough to serve a mission!!! Wasn't it yesterday that he was a little boy? So nice that he would have finished his freshman year at BYU before entering the MTC!!!

What kind of race are you looking for? Trail? Marathon? Triathlon? There are numerous races of various kinds in Utah almost every weekend from April to November. Have fun choosing and training for one! :)

Thanks Smooth we are really excited for Chase and he is truly excited about his call to Montana. I’m not even sure what kind of race I want to do but it needs to be something I haven’t done before and it can’t be hot. I promised Doone I wouldn’t do anymore hot weather races after how sick I got doing Havalna. Any suggestions?

Ditto what Smooth said!You have already done St George, so that's out. How about The Huntsville "Full Monte" Marathon....

Congratulations. Try a Ragnar. Ha!

Congrats, don´t exactly understand what that really means for your son, but it sounds great! (-:

Go do something that gets you to Boston 2019!!!

First, Congrats to Chase!

Second,I was debating Colorado end of May/Early June. That being said I debate a lot of races :)

congratulations to Chase and you for sure you must be proud as a father. I have not ran Arizona yet please keep in the loop if you find a good one or know one in Arizona. I think Tom and Dan are running Brookings marathon. I heard good stuff.

Thanks everyone. Chase is excited to be a missionary. It is something he has wanted to do since he was a young boy.

Martin, if you want to know what it is, next time you see a couple of Mormon missionaries walking around in their white shirts and ties with their black name tags on, stop and talk to them. They are just out trying to share a message about Jesus Christ to bring hope and happiness to others.

Keep the suggestions coming on races. So far Huntsville sounds the most intriguing.

That is big news for you and your son. Congratulations!

If your goal is to BQ, then Huntsville is a good one! I ran it last year and was my fastest out of the 6 marathons I did from June to Nov. It was cold at the start but they have a big tent to huddle in until time to walk to the start. The course is fast in the first half, there are some rollers in the second half, the last 5K is boring zigzag around the fields in Huntsville.

If you want to do a marathon in May when Chase comes to the MTC, then the obvious one will be Ogden Marathon. Have you done that one before?

If you want to do an ultra trail. I recommend Pony Express 50 or 100 in October. You do need to have your own crew. It's during Utah's Fall break so families make it out to support. It has one of the highest finishing percentage.

Or if you just want to do a vacation type 50K. Then the Goblin Valley 50K or marathon will be your cup of tea. It is at the end of Oct. Your family will love to camp and hike in Goblin Valley.

If you want to do something completely rad and just for fun. You should do the Spartan. I think Doone would be the GREATEST cheerleader to see you all covered up in sweat and blood!!! :)

Oh speaking of vacation and scenery races, you should check out some of the races in Moab, and the half marathon in Bryce Canyon! Happy running and training! ;)

This is amazing. I love all the race suggestions. Now I’m more confused than ever though. I guess I need to decide what kind of race I want to do then go from there. I wish I had the time and energy to do them all.

Rhett, it´s not common here in Germany, at least not on the streets. But I think I know what it means! Great!
