This is a small but really fun and well organized race in Eagle Mountain. My plan was to go out and run a PR but my stomach had other plans :). After a short warmup they bussed us to the start and I did some strides to get ready. Arianne was there so I got to catch up with her for a bit too which was great.

Soon enough they told us to go and we all took off. I was out in front and the first mile went by really quick, 5:08. I felt really good and kept the hammer down. I was out in front but I didn't know how far and I don't look back so it felt good knowing that everything was fine. Just before mile 2 my stomach got really angry. Cardio wise I felt great but the fast running was not going to work so I had to slow up. Mile 2 5:25. The rest of the race was spent in this manner just trying to get through to the finish without an accident. Mile 3 was a "fun" 6:03 and I ran straight through the finish to the bathroom. Cooled down with Arianne afterward and talked and then watched the kids race which was really fun.

Luckily I won the race in 17:08 and picked up some cash for my effort. Afterward I drove to the Orem soccer park and ran 10 miles with 5x 600 on the end. The workout went great and I finished the day feeling good.
