Personal:

I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. After the birth of my son in 2001 my fitness declined to a pathetic level. I have been running regularly since 2002. I currently run about 35 - 40 miles a week.

I got lost on the way to the Ogden Dee Events Center and was late for the race.  I was literally pinning my number on during the 1st 1000 yds of the race.  This is not an easy course, very very hilly.   There is hardly a flat section.  You hit a hill right off the starting line, then go back up that same hill on the way back at about mile 7.  It was relentless.  I was happy with my performance I finished under 1:20, which is what I wanted to do.  Althought the last uphill at about mile 9.5, truly hurt.  I recovered on the downhill, but slowed way down to do it.   There was a spot at the event center parking lot near the finish where you could short cut and cheat, and I don't know if the guy I got in the sprint with at the finish took it, but he showed up awful quick.  I sprinted him to the finish and he beat me by about 2 feet.   I finished 50th instead of 49th.  Yes a sprint finish for 49th place, that's competition !!!!  It was fun, and I'd do it again.  You got a nice tee shirt, and it was well organized.  I cooled down with two miles back in Salt Lake with the dog.
