Went to Payson early this morning with my Boat attached to the truck and got to the race at 6:30. I hurried and registered and did about a 1 mile warmup and then got to the start line and did some serious chit chatting! The race lined up and Rachel (Rad) got right next to me at the start line and when they shot the gun off she sprinted out and took an early 200 yard lead screaming and waving her hands in the air! I hope some blogger or private individual got the video or still shots because thats all the glory im giving her! haha I pushed the pace a bit hard at first and was immediately joined by two kids that looked like they were either high School age or College. One of them was breathing pretty hard so I figured id see how far they could sustain the pace we were at. mile 1- 5:05 I felt awesome at this point and had the two runners going strong next to me. Mile 2- 5:15 a bit of head wind and gentle drop. Mile 3 I decided to push the pace and see if the two could hang on. I got to 3.5 and there was a 90 degree turn and I gained 100 yards. I felt good at that point but was faced East into the sun with an slight up hill climb. I started to fade and just concentrated on my arm and leg movement. I got to mile 4.5 and there was another 90 degree turn facing me South into a slight headwind. I looked back and gained another 50 yards. I got to sneek a peek right before mile 5 on yet another 90 degree turn and I wasnt losing ground. I hit mile 5 and tried to go faster but found myself fading and running into the sun. I gained another 50 yards maybe more by then and finished right behind Marion who was in the 5k race. She out sprinted me and I had nothing left. Dang! Next time Marion, next time! I won a Timex Watch for first place and a commemorative Silver Dollar.  The FRB had a good showing and we cleaned up in our Age devisions! We had Breakfast at Marions house afterwards and then Scott and Kellis family went with us up to Deer Creek for some solid tubing, and Wakeboarding. Im finally home to blog this! It was a great day!

Met Scott at the capitol and we ran a tough 19 miles. First six were rolling.  Second six were up 1800 feet elevation. Then six down and 1 mile flat. I really like this course even though Iv'e had bad luck with getting stung and all.  It was perfect temps.
