I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

PM- BW. Ran from Planet Fitness up Center Street- that is a steep street that isn't really a warmup, more of a workout by itself. Anyways, when I got to Deer Fence I started a 10 mile tempo that took me 5 miles along the very hilly trail to Millville Canyon, then 5 miles on the road heading back, mainly on TOU course. Splits on Deer Fence were 6:49, 7:20, 7:46 (some of the hills are darn steep on this trail), 6:29, 6:46. Once on the road heading north I discovered there was a strong headwind that slowed me at least 10+ seconds/mile. Road splits were 6:09, 6:19, 6:17, 6:21, and a final slow mile of 6:33. I was pooped by mile 7 and really struggled to the end. But, I got it done. Total was 15.81 miles in 1:56:24 (7:22 avg) with 1250 ft climbing. Glad that one is over.

Pocatello "results" are posted- looks like I was the 12th or 13th person into the major aid, and I was the first person to DNF, though someone just 6 minutes behind dropped, too. Cody finished 10th, just 1 minute behind AJW and Matt Hart. Awesome.

Sounds like a tough run today with a lot of different variables. Way to push through it all to produce a great workout. Seems like everything is back to normal.

Interesting results. Wondered what would be produced as "official" given the circumstances.

Don't tell Cody, but wow, some of the names he was just behind and even ahead of.....pretty damn impressive. Would have been interesting to see how things shook out for both of you if the race had been just 1 day later.

I know, Dale. That's the big What-If that we won't know. I think we were both going to race well if it weren't for the weather. Bummer- that's all I can say.
