Another fun time running Jupiter Peak. I saw lots of people I haven't see in awhile and I ran slightly better than expected, bettering my time from two years ago by 1:30. I didn't almost break my ankle two years ago but I was still faster to top this year, which is a good sign. Only bummer about the race was that I was caught by Noah with about two miles left so I finished in fourth. He must have crushed the downhill because I think I beat him to the top by about two minutes. In hindsight I should have taken another GU and I will definitely never be wearing La Sportiva shoes again. I had a rock stuck in my foot the entire way down and they are just too narrow.

I stuck around for awards and the beer that was served promptly at 11:30, then Amiee was nice enough to drop me at Wasatch State Park to play golf. I actually had a better day on the course because 82 even with several three putts and my friend and I took home $21.

82? That's better than Tiger Woods at the British Open.

Nice race Fritz. And nice round of golf too! 82 is great.
