got to the race got my pacers organized. it was 38 degrees that was a little chilly with a strong wind that turned out to be a tail wind.  started thd race out ran my first mile w a provo runner named Trapper After mile 1 pulled away and ran the rest  of  the race by myself. It was hard to push myself when I was alone. they had a hyro pouch system worked ok by myself but with other runner's it would have slowed me down was able to stay under s 6 pace even with sll thelong hill in this race.  the prize I won was a parks parks for  the year pretty cool overall pretty good race for  a all mostly up hill

race.

Awesome race again, Walter. Been cool following you this year. I'm living running through your races!

Steve, I know youre secretly training Rocky style. Maybe you dont have the fancy equipment Ive been using. I know your doing the hill and snow workouts though. You cant fool me!

Kendall, Thanks! It was a great course!

Thanks Lily.

Christie, I think my winning streak is rubbing off on you my friend! I may be a sucky swimmer but you destroyed my time on that course! Dang girly! Ill be back for a rematch!
