Well let's get first things first. We had a great trip out and back with good friends from town and were stoked to see a huge Iowa contingent of almost double digits. That being said, with course changes that couldn't be side stepped, and performing under my own expectations, I was very grateful to have my buddies Greg and Teenan stop in to keep things upbeat. The course made it mandatory to get a good start with few ideal places for passing. I led for the first quarter mile or so and then slipped into 3rd place for quite some time after Josiah took the lead. You could definitely tell we were racing high (around 9100 ft) and I ran as well as I felt I could. Hats off to Josiah for such an incredible racing season and another National Championship win as well as to Jared Scott for running like mad the 2nd half of the race and earning a 2nd place finish. We're spending the week recuperating and starting to get excited for the Spring/Summer racing season with (2) 50K races and the US Mtn. Running Championships to come. I hope you enjoy the video, it's getting me out of my post-race depression. Thanks Greg!
