Someday I'll probably type up a race report for this...  For now I'm just documenting my miles.  I've been really sick for over a week so I had to take it easy during the race.  I'm glad I didn't bail due to sickness though.  The course was great and the race was well organized.  Our 4 man team wrapped up our 120 miles in just under 24 hours.

My first Ogden half.  The course is really pretty.  I didn't mind the rain at all, much better than overheating. This is the first half/full where I've kept a pretty steady pace for the whole race rather then slowing down so I'm really happy about that. Especially with my lackluster training...

Here are a few additional highlights:

- the sprinklers turning on at the start of the race while everyone was waiting for the port-o-potties.

- so much rain that my headphones shorted out by mile 5.

- running back up the course for 20+ minutes to find a friend, but they had already finished. doah

- sitting at the bag claim area forever shivering to death. 

- watching the top 5 marathon runners finish the race.

Great job Chris this is one of my favorite halfs, such a beautiful course.

ran up the first major climb for the Squaw Peak 50 to calm my pre-race nerves a bit, since most of the course is new to me.  the trail was a bit muddy but i'll take that over dry and dusty.  the wildflowers are starting to bloom.  the course is going to be in perfect shape for race day. (june 1st)

Partial Squaw Peak 50.  I'm not going to mark this as a race report.  Long story short, I started off with the wrong shoes and the bottom of my feet got pretty hammered. My legs felt good for the race. Arrived at the mile 33 checkpoint / cutoff 30 minutes late and couldn't finish the race. Better luck next year hopefully. The left fork of Hobble Creek heading towards aid station #8 is really pretty, glad I got to see that area. I'm going to run Bozung Hill in the next few weeks to finish previewing the whole racecourse.

Sorry you missed the cut. Better luck next year...keep after it. I would recommend checking out Bozung hill, you don't want to be surprised late in the race by that little gem. The trek leading to it (from little valley) is the killer for me--hot, exposed and never-ending.

nice sunday hike up the Timpooeke trail.  hit lots of snow and decided to give up before the basin area.  i'll try again in a week or two.
