Race: Butte to Butte 10K (6.2 Miles) 00:38:59, Place overall: 159, Place in age division: 15

Ran 38:59 (6:49, 12:38, 18:42, 24:59, 31:20, 37:35 = 6:49, 5:49, 6:04, 6:17, 6:21, 6:15, 1:15). Tough uphill first mile then fast downhill second mile, after that fairly level with no significant hills. A little warmer than ideal but not bad. Felt fatigued fairly early -- no doubt from the long travel day on the 2nd and being up late last night at the Olympic Trials. Still this was a neat race and I don't feel too bad about the slow time.

Travel day -- no running. Up early to drive to Portland, 10 a.m. flight to Denver where I met the family and drove to Saratoga, Wyoming.

3 miles easy in Saratoga, WY. Would have like to run more in this beautiful area but we had to set off for the Tetons and than on to where we're staying near Driggs, ID.

No run -- up at 5:00 a.m. today to drive to Jackson and then went on a great rafting trip:  16 miles on the Snake River starting near Hoback Junction. 8 miles of flatwater and 8 miles of whitewater.

10 miles, first 2 easy then 5 miles out-and-back going 15:50 the first 2.5 (somewhat downhill and with wind) and ~17:00 back. Easy 3 cool-down.

9 miles, first 2 easy then 2.5 in 15:05 (not all-out but it was somewhat demanding, considering the ~6,500' altitude) followed by 4.5 easy. Felt pretty good. Spent the day in Grand Teton NP.

6 miles easy in Cheyenne, WY. Felt okay but the groin and lower abdominal pain was more noticeable today. Perhaps due to lots of time in the car yesterday -- I'm sure that can't help.

8 miles, easy to moderate pace the first 3 then mixed in several fairly hard uphills (mostly :45 to :60) and a rolling half mile in ~2:50. Felt pretty good, still having some groin and hip tightness and pain but stretching seems to be helping.

11 miles, first 2 easy then 6 x 1.25 mile loop going pretty hard on the 1K uphill section each loop. Fastest was a paltry 3:53 (but it's a tough hill). 1.5 miles cool-down.
