Wasn't sure I was going to run this race at all with work the way it's been lately. I went to packet pickup and Steve Anderson and I switched ideas of running together or seperate races. I signed up for the 10k because I thought he was running it then I saw he had a half bib so I went to switch it to the half and he pulled me away from the table. So I ended up with the 10k. I got to the start and saw a few friends and talked to Rory, a student I coached at Herriman. I to was fun to race him! I have no chance against him anymore. I did beat him the last two years. Great to see progress. I started out with the pack.  It's such a fast downhill start. Mile 1 was 4:46. Mile 2 was 4:50, 3 was 5:05. First water break was very much needed. My mouth was so dry.  I had a hard time with the last three. Survival mode on the last mile that goes uphill. Not fair. Lol had fun seeing others and hung out with Leslie after and talked with Lindsey Dunkley who seriously needs to run a marathon and qualify for the Olympic trials. I will keep bugging her  till she gives in.

Don't you have to have a temple recommend to run a race on Pioneer Day? Burn! JK. Nice race. I agree with you about Lindsey.

I think Steve's just trying to make sure that I never get another master's win in my life.

Congrats on the Master's win. The three of you down there make old guy running fun to watch.

None of this is how it actually went down. At least pre race anyway. I wanted to run the marathon but wimped out since I felt I'd be hurling at mile 18. Couldn't run the 10k because I was staying at Robs house. Walter wouldn't run the Half then because he was scared of a fat guy beating him. Again.

Funny! I'll let you guys work this out yourselves.

From Walter on Sun, Jul 27, 2014 at 10:04:28 from 97.37.39.116

Burt--I plead the 5th! I think that works the same with religion.

Rob, you ran a solid race! As hot as it was out I'm glad I stuck to the 10k.

Jeff, masters is heating up with some amazing talent.

Steve, whatevs. I wanted to race you like we did at Alta Peruvian. I know what's under that chubby belly.
