red desert

I had a wonderful time this weekend exploring Utah with my buddy Andrea. We made a great friend and some wonderful memories!

As for the race, the elevation was more draining on my performance than I had anticipated and I thought I wasn't going to finish. But, with plenty of stops at the water stations, a quick squat behind some tumbleweed, and some inspiration from the magnificent landscape, I made it to the finish line alive and well.

Utah is a fantastic place to be!

Here are some pictures for now....
