Annual Sawtelle Stampede near Island Park, Idaho. This is typically a fairly casual race but a few fast guys and Jake were there this year which made it more competitive on a per runner basis than almost any race around. Warmed up with Jake then ran the 1k with my nephew. The 6 min pace (per 1k) was a solid performance and he also did a great job not getting trampled or falling in the mud puddles. Half Marathon started at 9:30 after the National Anthem and kid's race. I went out with the fast guys but fell off after about 3 miles because the sub 6 pace at 7000 ft on rolling hills wasn't sustainable for 10 more miles. Jake and two others had about 1 minute on me at the turnaround and that turned into about 6 mins by the end. Another guy passed me at about mile 7 which put me in 5th for the race. I wish I could have seen the finish because Jake and a high schooler got into a dead sprint at the end and both finished in a crazy fast time of about 1:14:50 and definitely a CR. Probably a finish Jake wasn't expecting. I will let Jake talk about the stroller issue at the end. Amiee and Andrea also ran well in the 5k and were great photographers. All in all a good effort, with good friends and a great event.
