Bountiful Turkey Trot

It was a beautiful day for a race.  We pace smart and ran a good race.  Here are our splits:

1- 9:48 slight downhill

2- 10:35 gentle uphill

3- 10:21  sort of level?

.1 @7:09 pace

ave 10:10 pace.

31:12, 9th of 10 in my age division!

Oh yeah, one other thing, my 10 year old daughter beat me by 1 second with a crazy sprint across the line.  ;)  She was 6 of 30 in the 14 and under group.  That's a tough age group with both grade schoolers and high school teens.

7.5 miles City Creek up to lower tower.

Nice race it was fun to see you there. How long have you had the hair on your chin? I think it make you look distinguished is that what you were going for?

Thank you Kathie. I was delighted to see you too. As for the chin, just a random act of shavelessness.
