I started this race with reluctance just as a few of my friends I know did. I exceeded my expectations with my horrible luck for this years training. A bad wakeboard accident fractured 3 ribs a few days before Top of Utah half. I ran with pain. 2 weeks later with no training at all, just healing up I run a PR half on a fast course of 1:07:56. It messed my calves up and I think I ran 2 times after that and did another fast course with a 1:09:29 two weeks before St. George. I knew my speed was ok but my training going into a marathon was pathetic. I ran with Clyde and Dave to mile 7 which is Veyo and pretty much saw them do their rocket running up it. I always choose to take it easy for these 4 miles and when I do it rewards me with a faster push downhill at the end miles. I felt good from 15 on and was hittin low 5's which was good. I really wanted to hit the 16 mile marker at 1:30 but I hit it in 1:36.  I thought for sure I could get low 1:32 when I was there because the downhill would help me out more then the first half. I felt great to mile 23 and when I hit 24 and turned the corner the brakes just smacked me! I couldnt get my legs to turn over for nothing. I was 19th and lost 5 spots in those last two miles as I was fading fast. The home stretch was difficult as well, I had a guy about 100 yards behind me as I hit the gates closing in on me fast. I gave it all and beat him with a photo finish. Man it was close! My calves are punished! Time to let them heal and regroup and train for Rock and Roll Arizona in Jan.  I opted out of the Boston for next year. It was great to see Fritz win and Amber win and Ian win Masters! What a smoking fast day! Congrats to all those and to Fritz, I do have a passport and would love to be your partner if you cant find one! :)
