It felt great to get some distance. Still trying to rehab IT band in right knee. Slight downhill for the first 5K, then uphill back to the finish. New Mizuno Wave Riders felt great.

Mountain View Trail Half Marathon - Antelope Island, UT

Gorgeous day for running. Trail half marathon on Antelope Island, Utah. The island is in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. I was able to see many of the island’s namesame critters and quite a few of the 600 resident buffalo. The course started on dirt road, but quickly transitioned to single-track trail. One downhill section was quite technical as the buffalo had torn it up while it was wet, which required some tricky footwork to keep from rolling an ankle. The aid stations were well staffed and stocked. I met my goals of finishing and not finishing last! BBQ at the finishline was great. Had a blast on the trail and enjoyed conversing with old and new friends pre and post-race.

I finished first in the old guy division. Got a medal and a box of cookies for winning. The other guy got second. That's one of the perks for being over 50 years old, less age group competition. Fun run, cool temperature, ran pavement for the first mile, dirt road the second, and on top of the dirt reservour dike to the finish. My knee is feeling better, I like racing every Saturday.
