Ran over to the zoo, to the U, by the capital and back to sugar house.  I didn't even need ear warmers.  My calf raises must be helping because my compression socks didn't fall down this time.

Gave the hip a rest today.  It isn't ready for 100 mile weeks quite yet but it will get there.

Work from 8:30 to 8:30 isn't helping my training but fortunately I can use the race this Saturday as an excuse.

mixed in 1 mile at 5:15 and 1/4 mile at 5.  Times by 13.1 for tomorrow although probably not possible on that course.

Arrived in St. George at 9 PM and woke up to a downpour of rain.  Basically I wasn't super excited to race but the warm up felt good so I was ready by race time.  The rain also subsided a bit which made conditions bearable.  Took off quickly from the start and did my best to power through the early miles knowing that if had a decent lead at the peak of the hill at mile 7 I could cruise home.  The plan worked for the most part but I wouldn't exactly say I cruised the last few miles.  They still had some good rollers and lots of twists and turns.

Overall I felt good about my effort and my time was 20 seconds better than last year.  Can't complain about that.  I also liked the new rolly course.  B.J. finished 2nd and Dave had a great race finishing in 3rd.
