Nice race today, Jake! You are definitely rounding into form quickly. You are ready for a good one in Phoenix. I really enjoyed running and hanging out with you today. I love your garmin course profile. Pretty funny; there isn't even a bump in the road!

Nice photos by Andrea!

Nice race Jake. That elevation profile looks right on. Thanks for the encouragement at the end. I would like to hear what Andrea has to say about my form because I was sort of disgusted by it.

I do remember last year but I'm not sure how you could. I am #1556.

Nice race brotha. See ya in July. :)

I remember last year forced me to the treadmill... which I've felt bad about for a full year, until I found out today that Kassi did the same thing - warmed up and then bagged it.

I always thought that course was deceptively hilly! Thanks for the proof.

Oh, and I've never felt even remotely bad about last year. I chalk it up as a tribute to my good sense.

The Garmin never lies!

I can still count my TM runs on one hand, so at least I didn't make a habit of it. Your suggestion that day probably helped me win the marathon the following weekend!

Good race today. You do look relaxed. Of the two videos and one in-person sighting, I think you have dropped your arm swing a few inches and your elbows are closer to your body.

Great photo of you and Josh and matching shoes.

Great job Jake. And it looks like you got in a better workout than the others because you ran a tougher course. You are set up well for Phoenix.

Phoenix is a good half course. I may run that too next week. Love that elevation profile!

Nice race, looking strong. Like the Hurricane's jacket too!

Right on Jake! Really strong today. Off to bigger and better things now!

nice race. birthday garmin would have done a better job with the elevation profile. wear it at phoenix next week and you'll see.

it looks like the palace photobombed that really touching pic of you teaching josh about the lake.

also, your next race in utah better be the SHRC mile eliminator!

"Josh, did you know that The Great Salt Lake is a tiny remnant of prehistoric Lake Bonneville and that only one species of shrimp lives in there?".

"And that with each year's diminishing snow-pack, it becomes less and less great every year".

Great job, Jake. Cool video too, looking very smooth.

Don't forget to log your vert.

Really nice pacing and negative split and a great effort heading into Phoenix. Nice work Jake.

Your set up well for Phoenix:) Stay rested and stay sharp. I have to agree about your form also. I noticed something different that day when you were past the turnaround. I was just in too much anaerobic pain to process it! Good luck:)

Allie - I still don't think my executive counsel is going to approve me racing the week after Grandmas, but I hear you are tight w/ Andrea, so see what you can do :-)

Rob - I was SOOOO lost on your comment about the Salt Lake for several hours today. I JUST got it a few minutes ago.

Thanks everyone. Glad we had such spring-like weather for most of the winter series this year. I'm sure that bodes terrible for all the spring marathons.

I'm glad you got it Jake.

I never knew a lake shore could be so hilly.

Great race Jake. Really nice consistency and negative split.

No "thou shalt run this year"? Utah county will be so dissapointed!

Awesome race. But I come here for the photography. Love the pictures:).
