This morning I ran the Sawtelle Stampede Trail Half Marathon in Island Park, ID. For such a low key race the organizers go all out. National Anthem, raffle, kids race, lots of aid stations, and they give out a big bag of $1 gold coins to the top three finishers. As for the race, it was somewhat uneventful after the first 1/4 mile but it was still challenging. Run up and down hilly terrain at 7,000 ft. wore me out.

Before the race I with my 3 year old nephew in his first 1k. He didn't stop the entire time even though several kids were tripping and having melt downs on the course. I think he has the focus.

How big was the bag?

A bag large enough to fit 125 $1 coins. Not bad for a small race in Idaho. I think I will spend it on mosquito repellent.

The Idaho folks know how to put on a fine race, don't they!

CONGRTSZ to you and your little nephew!

$125 ought to buy you a load of mosquito repellent, sun screen and Idaho potatos, :)

Hope you're enjoying your time at Island Park, such a beautiful place, and a FUn 4th!

Great job. The mosquito's are super thick in the high country right now...they were just as bad in the Driggs area as well.
