1 Marathon/year for the past 8 years, ; PR'd at 08 St. George 3:13:24!

1/2 marathon PR Moab, 1:37, beat this at 08' St George with a neg split at 1:31ish, Pr'd officially at 09' Moab 1/2, 1:33:13, even though I ran faster the 2nd half of St. George marathon, i assume I count this one! which tells me 2 things, 2nd half of St. George is a really fast course, and I am very surprised I could do that on the 2nd half of a marathon, must of been the good rainy cold weather!! Under 1:30 in 09' is still the goal!

Personal:

Married (Kelli) with 4 boys between 10-2: Carver, Taylor, Zach, and Tanner, live in Eden been running since my wife dragged me down to the Moab 1/2 and 5miler in 98 or 99 and I got hooked, and I wasn't even running in the race! before that i thought running just to run was not much fun, I preferred doing it while playing soccer, b-ball, etc... now I love it and working on getting bettta!

The Swamp Donkey's rode high at the WBR, great start to the race, i went up with Nick, Nick and Shane to Logan, we had a start time of 3pm which being an ultra team ( 6 man) I was a bit worried about the late start, but we proved ourselves well! N. Fischer got us off to a great, right off the start there we noticed another 6 man team that was going to be tough... they noticed us also and the race was on! Nick F. built a 3:40 lead on the first guy and then N. Froerer took over and stayed steady with their next guy till the last hill leading up to Avon and he picked up a quick minute to 4:40... then Shane took over and he had a battle their guy was tough climbing and closed the gap to about 100 yds at the top, but then Shanes motor kicked in and he opened it back up to nearly 4min.... Then I took over at the Liberty Park, i actually talked to the guy I was up against and found out there team was a group of teachers/track coaches from S. Dakota... I took off knowing this guy was going to be hunting me down, and that he did, he closed the gap but I pushed it hard thanks to updates from the crew and held him off, he never passed me but the lead shrunk to a few seconds, the positive from this is that I pushed it very hard and ended up averaging on a pretty rolling section just under 7 min/mile! I was happy with this but knew my next 2 legs could be tough holding this guy off. We picked up John Lewis and Bg at this point and John bolted out of the starting gate and built another big lead on his guy, he averaged 6:20ish or better for his leg and built a 5 minute lead only to see it disappear on Snowbasin, they had a climbing ringer who reeled BG in and gained 1:30ish on him, with a sick feeling N Fischer who spent the better part of the afternoon in the bathroom, up next we were worried, well not to fear Fischer jumped on it and reeled their guy in and extended our lead to nearly 5 min., N Froerer ran well and maintained and gained a bit on his guy, same as Shane! I will finish report on Saturdays page based off it now being Saturday when I ran next!
