Finish Time: 1:50:31
Official Results
Race Website

Highlights:

Survived the altitude, still competitive within the old man division
Roadtrip provided great excuse to get those missing National Park sign selfies (Theodore Roosevelt, Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Rocky Mountain and Gateway Arch)
And grab those missing state capitol building photos (Madison, Minneapolis, Bismarck, Helena, Topeka and Jefferson City)
And check off a couple of missing ballparks (Guaranteed Rate Field – Chicago White Sox, Great American Ballpark – Cincinnati Reds)

Low-lights:

All this free time actually the result of not having a job
Car randomly stopped working in Jefferson City, MO
Hotel outside of Cincinnati knew how to take the reservation, didn’t know how to hold the reservation

Thanks:

To Shannon for letting me run away for two weeks in the middle of the summer
