Today I did a race at Wheeler farms in Murray (I think.) It was a last second descion and I did not make any sort of preparation for it whatsoever, I could make a long list of the things I did that you're not suppose to do before a race that I did, ah what the heck. I woke up really early and underdressed for the weather. I was lost on my way their and stopped at a gas station for info. While there I was tempeted by a couple cream filled doughnuts and a bottle of choclate whole milk. I then found the place but arrived about 40 minutes early. I decided to hide from the cold in my car and I got a little to comfortable and relaxed. I had no idea on how and where the course went at the starting line.

The race started and it was a two loop course. I decided to follow second place for the first lap (she looked like she knew where she was going) and I did end up doing just that. I was going below race pace for that first lap though and I got really cold really fast. So after comleteing the first lap, in an effort to warm myself up I picked up the pace and left the second placer behind. I remembered the course and I finished the second lap, but one thing, the end of the second lap wasn't the finish. I had no idea what to do so I just kind of stood and walked around for a while until second place caught back up with me. She let me know that you have to continue on a ways and I just followed her. We finished together and I didn't do any sprint at the end, since there were mens and womens prizes for first place. In the end it was a fun race and I ha great time my relative Scott and some other welll dressed runners, though there was a low turnout.

I forgot to cool down and just went to my car to warm up after the race was done. Later in the day I decided to go on an exploration run around the hills behind the U. I ran to the top of Mt. Van Cott and explored some of the surrounding canyons. I did get quite an adreniline rush when I ran into a homeless person's tent in a canyon and rolled my ankle. It got better quick but I'm now going to be more cautious in those areas. In the end though it was a wonderful run and I much enjoyed it.
