Last, but not least, the reason for our trip to Arizona... the race. Jose's team ran the relay in 28 hours, 29 minutes, 32 seconds. They were 47th out of 214 teams, and 12th in the Men's Open Division. Jose had a great race. His average pace was 8:25 for the 17.4 miles that he ran. He even ran his last leg (a little over two miles) with an average pace of 7:52. Way to go Jose!!!
We (Laura, the kids and me) even decided to go pump him up for his middle of the night run. We drove out into the no-man-land close to Wickenburg, AZ at midnight to wish him well. He was very surprised to see us.
Saturday afternoon we met up with Matt and Kelly Fairbanks. We had a nice visit with them, and then went to eat at "In 'n Out Burger" We'd never been before and it has been such the controversy with the knock-off here in American Fork. After dinner we got on the road and headed up to Page. The stomach bug had passed, and we wanted to see Kristi and her family. We spent an enjoyable Sunday morning with them. Kristi fixed us a tasty lunch, and then we were on our way home.
Needless to say, I am already missing the sun and flip-flops of Arizona!
