Race: Sawtelle Stampede Half Marathon (13.109 Miles) 01:20:52, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1

Happy 4th of July! The 19th annual Sawtelle Stampede was run today and I think this was my 13th time running it. This year I didn't get to run the kids 1k with my nephews because they started the half marathon before the other races. Turns out that Thomas stopped for two cups of water at the turn around so he didn't place as well as last year. He and Nicolai still finished strong and in the top 10. My race was uneventful from the start but I still tried to run semi fast and the course always takes a good effort. My time was 4 minutes slower than last year which wasn't totally surprising. I finally had my blood work done and it's no good. 38 hematocrit, 270 testosterone and 15 ferritin. This could partially explain my subpar races of late, in addition to my lack of training. Hopefully getting those numbers up will help.

Ran up the fire road into bear country but didn't see any bears. Just yesterday we saw one on the road where I ran so I guess I was lucky or unlucky depending on how you look at it.

AM: ran around sugarhouse park a few times and did a 5kish workout on the track with Rob. Then I did a few 100 yard sprints on the football field to test out the new fake turf. The paint job is nice.

PM: hiked/ran/scrambled to the top of the Pfeifferhorn in Little Cottonwood. I feel dumb that it's taken me all these years to do this hike. The views are incredible!

2 Liberty Park loops with Roo. We had a tough time running straight and needed an extra long stop at the perpetual fountain.

As much as a despise 5Ks this was one of the more enjoyable races. I was consisently 10 seconds slower per mile this year compared to last, but still finished 5th. A highschooler, Garek from East High, ran a super impressive race  and finished in around 14:50. Cooled down with Albert then watched Nicolai win the boys division of the Kids K. I am sure he went out in a sub 6 and averaged about a 7:30 pace.

Amazing ~10 mile hike near Silverton, CO. Ice Lake then Island Lake.

Ran from the town of Silverton to the top of Kendall Mountain and back. The peak is just over 13,000 and there is ~3,900 ft up and down. I basically ran on the race course and it took me about 2 hours round trip. The CR is 1:34 set by Joe Gray and Sage ran it this year in 1:38. I know I couldn't hang with those guys but I think if I was racing I could do it in around 1:45. Maybe I will come out for next year. I was surprised that the altitude didn't bother me at all.

Road up Millcreek Canyon and almost froze to death on the way down. I can't recall ever getting that cold on a ride. Must have been the combo of 30 degrees and being underdressed.
