Day 1

7pm- Started out strong with Andrew Allen. The first turn of the race was an error by sgr staff so Andrew and I turned early (not knowing any better). Quickly some other runners told us we needed to keep going, so we had to turn around and hit the real first turn. Most runners did not follow and used the first fake turn, can't blame them too much. Marieta jumped in with us and helped us slow down our pace. Andrew had goals of 102 miles so it was good we slowed down.
6.09 miles, 55:36/9:08 mile pace 

8:30pm- Ross tapped in for Marieta. Before I even signed up the race Ross told me to make sure I ran super slow. Well he pushed the pace. I think he was excited to run with me and his favorite Utah Tech runner. Time went by fast and conversation was good. T-1st6.04 miles, 52:35/8:43 mile pace 

10pm- This time a guy named Kevin Robison joined me and Andrew. Once again he pushed the pace. He wasn't doing the whole race so he wanted to win this lap. If you win a lap they gave you a special rabbit pin. At St. James they gave another special pin if you walked the loop around the park. Kevin wanted to do that. Andrew had to use the bathroom. I quickly ended up by myself. It was calm running in the cold night alone. There was a full moon. Many runners had head lamps, not me. I slowed the pace down and chilled. Kevin caught back up to me and I held pace with him. Then with a quarter left he went for the lap W. Ended up being my fastest lap too.
2nd, 6.01 miles, 52:13/8:41 mile pace 

11:30pm- This was my last lap with Andrew. He started to struggle and wanted to try new strategies. Randomly, 2 dudes cruised on this lap. One thing that really helped for these laps was to change clothes frequently and swap shoes every couple of laps.
3rd, 6.03 miles, 53:51/8:56 mile pace
