Notes: I ran 1:26:26 when I was 60 and my last mile was over 7 minutes. I want to be better ready this year and get under 1:26 at age 64. There is a 2,125 foot drop but it is 13.1 miles and it would be considered as aided. But I would take the time. I didn't get under 1:26 but I was just 28 seconds short of it. I wrote that month's ago and closer to the race I was only talking about getting under 1:30 but in the back of the my mind...
I have already entered.

Bob Anderson running the day before. It was a perfect day for racing through the canyon to city hall this morning. Buses started leaving at 5am and over 1000 runners made the trip to the starting line. The overall male winner was Jose Lopez (bib no 2177) in 1:11:58. Second place went to 50 year-old Danny Arteaga. He ran 1:16:10. First female was Ginna Ladd in 1:21:41. 64-year-old Bob Anderson (in read 147) finished 35th overall and first 60 plus in 1:26:27. This was his 24th race out of 50 of the year.
