Countdown to 2017, best moments of 2016 #3: Ibigawa Half Marathon & trip.
The trip to Ibigawa far surpassed my expectations. It was awesome. We had such a great group to go with. The runners: Scott, Rosy, Tere, Jill and their guests/family that came with them and also St George leadership Kent Perkins and his family and Zack Renstrom. Just great people. Also the host family we had, the Koishi's were incredibly gracious hosts and all the other Japanese race organizers, volunteers, and local leaders were all great! The race was my slowest and probably worst of the year, but it was so much fun and came to mean a lot to me to win it. My brother Denver and I will always remember that fun trip.
