I got to Bryce around 5 pm Friday night. I was going to stay at the KOA but I decided against it because there were enough teenagers their to drive a person crazy. I decided to camp just out side of town on top of a mountain. I barley managing to get the tent set up when a heavens opened and brought down buckets of water. The wind started blowing and the thunder was echoing of the mountain walls. I did not have time to secure my tent so I lay in side of my tent like a dead weight trying to keep me and the tent from soaring of the top of the mountain. The race started just north of the famous ruby’s Inn. 800 eager beavers ready to scream down the canyon to Canyonville. The gun went off and we started out of the gate. Then the gun went off again. Like a false start in a track meet. I stopped for a moment as about 50 people passed me, then I had to get it in gear. The first two-mile are flat. Then the next 5 go right down the canyon. I pretty much stayed with 4 guys going down the canyon. Then I slowly pulled away from them on the bottom. Here are my splits. 1. 6.49 2. 6.21 3. 5.57 4. 6.10 5. 6.24 6. 6.24 7. 6.46 8. 7.10 9. 6.56 10. 6.53 11. 6.51 12. 7.05 13. 6.26 126.26 Avg pace 6:39

Good race Saturday Bill. Are you feeling sore today. My legs have been pretty tight. I don't think I'm going to be doing the Enterprise race, what are your plans?

Good job Bill! The image of you laying inside your tent in thunderstorm is pretty comical, but I'm not so sure it was funny to you at the time!
