Sufferfest 2012

Ok, maybe a little dramatic but that’s sorta what it felt like in my most recent race… more on that in a bit. Let’s start with a little background. This race was the HITS Napa Valley Olympic distance on 14 April 2012. I was REALLY looking forward to this race; the location looked incredible and [...]

Dog Town Half Marathon

We headed down to St. George this past weekend for some sun and a little run on Saturday in the Dog Town Half Marathon. The race started at 9 a.m. (which was nice because I didn’t have to get up super-early!) and the race was really well organized with a prompt start. I decided to [...]

Save a Sister 10k

Stats: Overall time was 46:53, 6th place overall men’s division. We were in St. George with some friends and I found this Runner’s Series race in St. George.  Looking forward to doing the St. George marathon in 2012 so I need to get a few “series” races in so that I can get a guaranteed [...]

Races for 2011

One thing I’ve noticed is there are no shortages of running and triathlon races (at least not in Utah).  Every weekend, after the Spring weather arrives, there are multiple events to choose from . I’m always so tempted to sign-up for more than I should. The race directors do such a great job promoting the events! [...]

Moab Half-Marathon, March 19, 2011

First race of the year and I’m a little stressed-out about it. Shouldn’t be, I’m probably in the best running shape I’ve been in for many years. It’s just that I NEVER feel ready for these shorts of things! Always lots of jitters and stress. I guess the key is to take that nervous energy [...]
