Front pack of the Mammoth Lakes Freedom Mile... check out that sweet yellow lead car!
On the last morning of our summer vacation, I decided to jump in a road mile race at 8000 feet! This was my first post-Utah Valley Marathon race, and I definitely went into it with tired legs from an incredibly active week of running/skiing/biking. I finished 3rd in 4:37. Not exactly an impressive performance (I was never really IN the race)... but it was a good rust-buster after a few weeks of lower intesity running and tons of cross-training. I feel really fit and super strong right now, so now its time to get rolling with summer training. I'm focusing on running a fast half-marathon at the end of the summer, then will hopefully take a shot at running an Olympic Trials Marathon qualifying time this fall.
Last 200m or so...
Final stretch
Gotta love the July 4th spirit in Mammoth Lakes!
