I did the Cache Valley Biathlon with my father-in-law today.  I ran the 5 miles in just under 28 minutes.  It was a nice VO2 max run for me.  I came in second and felt good considering I was going to do another 10 afterwards.  My father-in-law is close to 60 years old and biked 16.5 miles in 49 minutes.  Our total time was 1:17:10 or so.  I think we took 15th place overall.  My father-in-law had tears in his eyes because he beat a lot of younger hot shots on their bikes.  He has a bad neck and usually rides a recumbent bike but this year he did the ride on an upright.  A little side note.  My wife did the whole thing by herself and did awesome.  It was her real first race ever.  I am so proud of her.  The race was in Wellsville so I ran from there all the way back into Logan.  My legs were feeling good so I pushed a few miles at threshold pace.  The entire run was at a 6:07 pace.  It was a great run.  I thought I was going slower but I was cruising along for a while at marathon pace.  I think the speed workouts are helping.  It was a great day of running and biking for the Fielding family!  I was really happy to hit 75 miles this week.  It felt good.

Yeah, the praxis two sucked! 6 hours of tests back to back is not my idea of a good time, but as long as I am am "expert" in my field right!

My wife is from Willard, not too far from you, so we are down once in a while maybe we can hook up for a run. I know that Nate Pollard, Tim Wight, Russ Bennett, and Tracy Phifield all live in your neck of the woods and they are excellent runners. Also, if you ever want to head to Logan on the weekend we have a pretty fun group (me, Paul, Cody, Jon, and Dan), and we would love to have you along.

Logan, nice job in the biathlon. I saw your names in the results section of the local paper today. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your father-in-law is the former mayor of Logan?? Pretty cool. I've actually seen him out on his recumbant from time to time.

Nice job on the biathlon, I have always wanted to do one of those.

Clyde and rest of the St. George guys said they knew you, and that you used to go back home to St. George and run them over in some 10ks.

I haven't run with many people in the last few years until this year and I have really enjoyed it. It makes long hard runs fun and enjoyable when you can shoot the breeze and not focus on how much further you still have to go. Like I said, we have a fun group here and I know there are some cool guys down in the North Ogden area too. I will keep in touch and let you know when I am down in the area, and if you are up here let us know.

What is your next race going to be?
