I'm open to all sports but running helps me relax and just think, as does biking and swimming. I'm currently a freshman at the University of Utah.

Barely got to the race in time due to my brother taking forever, During that time I ate a pretty full breakfast, I couldn't resist since I hadn't had breakfast all week. No time for a warm up and pretty much went from the car to the starting line. I saw that Zan and Connor where there and went to catch up with them. The race started and I might've started a little too fast on the uphill start even though I was trying not to. Zan caught up to me and we ran together and left the field except for Connor who had left us a while ago, that kid haha.  Anyway we ran together for the first mile and bit more until he gaped me on a turn. For a the rest of the race until the last 800 the gap was the same distance but then I just kinda gave up the last 800. Zan got a really good time and he's really been improving. The conditions were great, with lots of sunshine and warmth, it was really fun. It was a fun race overall and I'm not bummed about the time. I got to meet a lot of people and it was great to be back in touch with the local running scene.

Later in the day I went on a nice recovery ride on the bike up to third dam, in Logan Canyon.

Congrats and love the no excuses attitude. Certainly full-breakfast followed by no warm-up and running to the starting line isn't the ideal start. Nonetheless, nicely done.
