AM: 10 mile bike ride at Sugar House Park during practice.

PM: 5 miles around Liberty Park. I also stopped neglecting my neglected striders. 6 of them.

I went into school today and told them that this would be my last year coaching. 22 years is a long time but the main reason is that I'm not getting kids, especially girls out for cross country anymore. I'm not connecting with kids the way I used to. It's also true that coaching cross country, especially the way it's done in Utah, is becomming a full time job and I'm just running out of energy. Maybe after a 2 or 3 year break I'll feel like doing it again.

Good race today. Stayed up late last night and ate poorly yesterday. Felt sluggish and tired at the start but worked into it by mile 3. Loved running the downhills and switchbacks on the single track in the middle miles. Overall masters winner, a 40 year old, beat me by about 15 seconds.

So my summer racing season is over.
