The first man across the finish line ...

First man to cross. Meaning, the race winner was a woman.

Adrian and I left the warm temps of the Sonoran desert last week for the much cooler -- OK cold -- environs of Utah for a 50k run at Goblin Valley State Park. We met our friends Billy from Colorado as well as soon-to-be-from Montana friends Gar and Nicole. The run, which Adrian, Billy and Gar all participated in, began at 8 a.m. Saturday morning. 

Adrian came in second place and was the first man across the finish line. Billy and Gar completed their first ultra marathon in good style and within their time goal despite a niggling leg injury and a stomach issue. Stay tuned for more information on the race, and the rest of our travels through Utah, including Bryce and Zion national parks.
