I felt pretty good the whole way.  I started out with Sasha and Jeff for about 2 miles and then I let them go.  I was passed shortly after that by a couple others.   I am glad I really pushed the first 4 miles I think.  I held onto about a 6:20 pace the rest of the way including mile 13.  My average was 6:12 so I was pretty thrilled as it was a PR for me.

I am doing Park City. Hopefully, I'll continue to be healthy.
