This was a tough race. We got up at 4:30 am on Saturday drove to downtown Ogden. Boarded buses that took us up Ogden Canyon to Eden Utah. We stood in the rain for about an hour and a half. Outside temperature around 38-40 degrees. They had barrels with fire in them for us to stand next to, but the cold and rain overpowered the heat. The race was run under a full out rain storm that never let up. Heidi ran with a sprained ankle and still beat me by 5 minutes.

After the race Lindsi started to get the first signs of hypothermia. I helped her get back to the the car so she could warm up. Ryan and I went back to find Heidi, because she disappeared after she crossed the finish line.

I am glad that I was able to run with my daughters and Ryan. It was a memorable experience we had together.marathon 002zazoosh_990201823-medjpegzazoosh_990201824-medjpegzazoosh_990201826-medjpegzazoosh_990201825-medjpegmarathon 003marathon 004marathon 006Ryan and I are putting recessed lighting in their kitchen.marathon 008marathon 009marathon 010marathon 013
