PACING @ WASATCH 100

The plan was to pace Seth Hales from Brighton to the finish (Soldier Hollow). Seth was moving along well as I kept an eye on the live tracker but then received a text from him saying his race was over. Seth like many others had succumbed to the heat and pulled out at Big Mountain.

Seth shot me text shortly after stating that a friend Robert Meuller had just arrived at Lambs in rough shape. I was glad to be needed again and headed for Mill D and the intercept around Dog Lake to catch him coming out of Millcreek if he were to continue. I headed up taking the split to Dog Lake and continued down until I ran into Rob about 2 miles out of Millcreek.

We moved well through the night pushing through a variety of issues. I had all but lost hope for a sub 24 hour finish for him until something snapped inside his head just outside of Rock Springs--not 1 min after violently throwing up. He shot down the dive, dropping me in the process and pushed through next 12 miles and three aid stations without stopping, hitting 7-8 min miles.

Rob came in at 23:24, top 10 finish. I've never seen anything like it.

I ended up with a little over 41 miles/10 hours of running through the night. Incredible night.

Traverse downhill took a mile or so to warm up. Still a bit tired from FRI-SAT run.

BIG COTTONWOOD MARATHON

Ran my first ROAD MARATHON today. I've completed 25 ultras and several trail marathons, none of the road (been proud of that). 

Finished 3:00:01 (according to my Garmin)--I know right!? (Officially, 3:00:03). 17th overall and 2nd in AD. I should be pleased but that :01 is killing me.

Hats-off to RD's, staff and volunteers. Pretty much flawless execution and extremely organized. First class event all-the-way-around. 

Great to see a lot of friends on the course and on the sidelines.

ELECTRIC RUN THANKSGIVING POINT

We hosted the Electric Run at Thanksgiving Point this evening. I'm sure there are mixed feeling about such things but these guys put on an amazing show--it's a show, not a race. Great job with the different "light" stations and the finish party was over the top. First class event for its type and fun working with the ER crew. ABC's new Bachelor, Juan Pablo?, flew in this evening making an appearance, running with his "date." Big time deal for my operations group working with Producers and cast, etc., etc. Feed them for the past two days and did the "show" tonight on-property. Some late nights and early mornings. Did get to run the course 3x today though!

5 on the Murdock Canal. Took it pretty easy. 1 mi at 7mm pace then backed it off. No more running this week. Race on Friday.
