Wasatch Back: Ragnar Relay

Yes, I did partake in the Ragnar Relay of Utah. Being runner 1 and 21 miles of terrain led me to heliolatry, which drove me to gallons of water. It was a hot couple of days and a ton of fun.

Stuff you should know:
188 miles from Logan to Park City
12 person team
2 vans per team
and a whole lot of running!

I completed my first leg of 7.9 miles (I still think it was only 7.0 miles) in 55 minutes. Second leg of 8.7 miles in 68 minutes. The third and final leg of 4.0 miles from Oakley to Kamas in 40 minutes. Don't ask me what happened at the end. I blame it on the head wind and the 16 miles I ran a few hours earlier.

All in all I loved it and am grateful that my wife and kids let me do it. Does anyone know a good masseuse?

This is a picture at the top of Avon Pass looking down on Liberty. Beautiful!

Farmington Festival Days

Growing up in Farmington, I'm no stranger to Farmington Festival Days. In fact, the way I talk at these celebrations leads Sarah to believe I'm antediluvian. It really is a lot of fun and a lot bigger than one would think. Here is a picture of (from left to right) Jared Hale, Matt Hale, Myself, and Mason right after the 5k race. Luckily with a 5k race you don't really have to train. I came in with a 25:19 and an 8:08 mile time. This is great considering how out of shape and down right plump I have become. Now where is that massage I was promised?
